Ability to Maintain Hemoglobin Level
The primary outcome measure was the proportion of subjects who were able to maintain haemoglobin between 9.5 and 12.5 g/dL (both values included) at week 6. Haemoglobin was measured by a blood sample at the different visits. All blood samples were taken before the dialysis from the dialysis catheter. Intravenous iron was administered during dialysis, at least 30 min after the start and at least 1 h before the end of dialysis.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 weeks
Change in Hemoglobin Concentration
Time frame: 6 weeks
