Study aim
-
Comparison of the effectiveness and safety between Alpha chain Erythropoietin and Beta chain Erythropoietin in the Remodeling of Anemia in Children with Chronic Renal Failure
-
Design
-
In this clinical trial (phase II), the patients are divided in two parallel groups according to simple randomization based on table of random numbers:
1) Alpha chain erythropietin (PDpoietin, Pooyesh Darou co)
2) Betha chain erythropoietin (Cinapoietin, Cinnagen co)
In these two groups, the drugs are prescribed based on KDIGO36 guideline for three months duration to maintain hemoglobin range between 11-12 g/dl. In this study concealment was not carried out.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study is the comparison of efficacy of 2 drugs, PDpoietin and Cinapoietin in remodeling of anemia in chronic kidney disease patients refer to Aliasghar children hospital by simple randomization (without blindness).
