Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change in blood haemoglobin levels at 24 weeks with alternate day versus once daily oral iron supplementation versus single dose parenteral iron therapy in subjects with stage G3-4 CKD and iron deficiency.Timepoint: 12 weeks and 24 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
i. Change in serum ferritin, % transferrin saturation, blood hepcidin, IL-6, TNF-α levels at 24 weeks with once daily versus alternate day oral iron supplementation versus parenteral iron therapy for correction of iron deficiency in subjects with stage G3-4 CKD. 2. Monitoring drug compliance (verbally as well as by pill count) in either arms of oral iron supplementation. 3. Monitor adverse events in the three arms. Timepoint: 24 weeks
