8.Rheumatoid arthritis with symptoms or signs of active joint inflammation.
9.Pregnancy and nursing (To avoid pregnancy, women have to be postmenopausal (at least 12 months must have elapsed since last menstruation), surgically sterile, or women of child bearing potential must use one of the following contraceptives during the whole study period and after the study has ended for at least 5 times plasma biological half-life of the investigational medicinal product (5 days): Contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices (IUD), contraceptive depot injections (prolonged-release gestagen), subdermal implantation, vaginal ring, and transdermal patches).
10.Extensive active bleeding necessitating blood transfusion.
11.Planned elective surgery during the study.
12.Participation in any other clinical study within 3 months prior to screening.
13.Known intolerance to oral iron treatment.
14.Untreated B12 or folate deficiency.
15.I.V. or oral iron treatment or blood transfusion within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.
16.ESA treatment within 8 weeks prior to screening visit.
17.Serum ferritin > 500 µg/L.
18.Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of Principal Investigator, may cause the subject to be unsuitable for the completion of the study or place the subject at potential risk from being in the study or interfere with study drug evaluation. Example, Uncontrolled Hypertension, Unstable Ischemic Heart Disease or Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: To demonstrate that intravenous Iron Isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) is non-inferior to oral iron sulphate in<br>reducing Renal-Related Anaemia in NDD-CKD subjects, determined as ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb).;Secondary Objective: 1. To assess other relevant haematology and biochemical parameters during the study.<br>2. Quality of Life (QoL) assessment by Linear Analog Scale Assessment (LASA).<br>3. To assess safety of intravenous iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) compared to oral iron sulfate<br>4. Assessment of RLS symptoms and change in these symptoms during the study;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of the study is change in Hb concentration from baseline to week 4.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 weeks
