Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of zinc dose in multivitamin products of CKD patients on the progression of anemia (hemoglobin level) in these patients
Design
clinical trial with a control and intervention group, without blinding, randomized in 60 patients
Settings and conduct

In one of the two groups receiving nephrovit or nephrotonic (25 mg of zinc) daily or take nephrotonic with a lower dose of zinc (7.5 mg) for 3 months. at the beginning of the study and then three months after the intervention, blood count tests and iron profiles and ceruloplasmin, copper and zinc levels is checked.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion: Patients aged 18-85 years have stage 3 or more CKD, who have been treated with nephrovit or nephrotonic for more than three months. Exclusion: History of chronic infection or severe infection (sepsis) in the last month or cancer, alcohol abuse or use of anemia-inducing drugs (some antibiotics such as linezolid, chloramphenicol and Isoniazid, antiviral drugs in the treatment of AIDS for the last month- routine use of NSAIDs - chemotherapy drugs, hydroxyurea, azathioprine, 6-mercaptoporin, sulfasalazine, cotrimoxazole and methotrexate), Patients with a history of blood transfusion within 1 month prior to enrollment.
