Brief Summary  

In chronic kidney disease, as nephrons are progressively lost, the body attempts to maintain homeostasis via multiple adaptive and maladaptive processes, including a complex range of biochemical and physiologic abnormalities.

As anemia is very common in CKD patients, treatment with erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESAs) is recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease, even those with moderate disease not yet requiring dialysis, need to be periodically monitored for anemia.

Pegylated Recombinant Erythropoietin is a pegylated form of Erythropoietin which can be used IV or subcutaneously for treatment of anemia due to chronic kidney disease at once a twice weekly dose.
