Study summary

This observational, prospective, multicenter study will describe the mean dose of Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) and the hemoglobin levels in patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients are not on dialysis and are naive to, or have received erythropoiesis stimulating agent treatment. Data will be collected for 10 months.

Groups and cohorts

  • Chronic Kidney Disease

    Participants with CKD, not undergoing haemodialysis in clinical practice setting and started treatment with methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (MIRCERA) subcutaneously (SC) as per summary of product characteristics (SPC) due to decreased levels of haemoglobin.

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Mean Hemoglobin (Hb) Level During Titration Period

    The hemoglobin level was measured in grams per liter (g/L) at entry level and after each month of treatment with MIRCERA. The study did not distinguish between erythropoiesis stimulating agent naive and erythropoiesis stimulating agent treated participants, and collected the overall data (Hb level) before/after administration of MIRCERA.

    Time frame: Baseline, Month 1, 2, 3, 4

  2. The Mean Hemoglobin (Hb) Level During Maintenance Period

    The hemoglobin level was measured in grams per liter (g/L) after each month of treatment with MIRCERA. The study did not distinguish between erythropoiesis stimulating agent naive and erythropoiesis stimulating agent treated participants, and collected the overall data (Hb level) before/after administration of MIRCERA
