Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The primary endpoint of the study is hemoglobin level variability
For determination of this variability, the following patterns of hemoglobin level change will be established: * Target range hemoglobin (TRH): patients who maintain hemoglobin values in the range of 11.0-12.0g/dl throughout the study period. - Low hemoglobin (LH): patients with hemoglobin levels below 11.0g/dl. * High hemoglobin (HH): patients with hemoglobin levels above 12.0g/dl. * Low-amplitude fluctuation with low hemoglobin (LALH): patients with at least one measurement of hemoglobin levels \<11.0g/dl and at least one measurement in the range of 11.0-12.0g/dl, but without hemoglobin measurements \>12.0g/dl. * Low-amplitude fluctuation with high hemoglobin (LAHH): patients with at least one measurement of hemoglobin levels \>12.0g/dl and at least one measurement in the range of 11.0-12.0g/dl, but without hemoglobin measurements \<11.0g/dl. * High-amplitude fluctuation (HAH): patients with at least one measure of hemoglobin levels \<11.0g/dl and at least one measurement \>12.0g/dl
the study includes the retrospective collection of information from the medical records of patients over a period of one year.
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Estimation of cardiovascular risk of patients
at the end of the study period (one year after the start of data recording)
Potential factors influencing hemoglobin variability
Both baseline data and the changes recorded on the visit at month 12 will be considered.
Interventions
kidney transplantation
Eligibility Criteria
Adult kidney transplant recipients with chronic renal anemia.
You may qualify if:
- Patients aged \> or = 18 years.
- Kidney transplant recipients with chronic renal failure stage 3 (glomerular filtration rate: 30-59ml/min/1.73m2), 4 (glomerular filtration rate: 15-29ml/min/1.73m2) or 5 (glomerular filtration rate: \<15ml/min/1.73m2) at the start of the study follow-up period.
- Diagnosis of anemia and drug treatment initiated or changed subsequent to June 29, 2010 (date on which the latest recommendation by European Renal Best Practice on the target range for hemoglobin levels were published)
- Patients capable of giving their informed consent to participate in the study and who agree to participate by signing the informed consent form.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients whose medical history lacks measurements of hemoglobin levels every three months (±1 month) during the year of study follow-up.
