Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Renal events: Event days will be considered the days when the earliest of the following occurs. Individual events will also be analyzed. The date on which hemoglobin levels reach a certain value (e.g., 10 g/dL) instead of the first day of Epogin injection use will be employed as the beginning date to be used in evaluation. 1)Renal replacement therapy 2)Doubling time of creatinine level 3)eGFR<6.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1)Endpoints related to renal function Changes over time in hemoglobin levels, eGFR (rate of change, percentage of baseline eGFR), 1/Cr, and urinary protein and creatinine during the survey will be evaluated along with the relationships of these endpoints to patient background characteristics and event onset. (2)Cardiovascular disease events Event days will be considered the day of hospitalization or death due to any of the following cardiovascular diseases. heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack | — |
