- Brief Summary
After taking clearance from ethical committee of the institute, study will be conducted in the Department of **MEDICINE**, Command Hospital (EC). This will be a Randomized Clinical Trial. All eligible patients of Chronic Kidney Disease on Dialysis admitted in CHEC KOLKATA who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study after taking a written informed consent.
**Enrolment, randomization and intervention** - At enrolment, subjects will enter 2 weeks run-in period. Thereafter at baseline visit, subjects shall be randomized {allocation ratio 1:1} to receive Intravenous iron supplementation with iron isomaltoside (500 mg) once monthly to Proactive Group or 0 to1500mg once monthly as per requirement (15 mg/kg body weight) for correction of iron deficiency in reactive Group. In Proactive Group intravenous iron isomaltoside given to maintain serum ferritin level of >700mcg/l and transferrin saturation > 40% and in Low dose group (Reactive Group) intravenous ferric carboxy maltose is given if serum ferritin is <200mcg/l and transferrin saturation 20%. Blood samples (whole blood, plasma & serum) would be stored for biomarker analysis at baseline visit as per case record form.
**Follow up visits** - The subjects will be followed up monthly for 6 months after baseline visit. At these visits, Blood samples taken for Iron profile, complete blood count, renal function test, liver function test. And possible drug related side effects. In addition, information about general health and drug related side effects was sought at every months after baseline visit through telephonic interview. Subjects would be encouraged to report any change in their health status till 1 month after completion of study period. Every adverse event (major or minor) would be recorded.
