Résumé

Anemia is a common complication in dialysis patients, usually treated with erythropoietin (EPO). Among available EPOs and analogs, continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (CERA) and darbepoetin alfa (DA) are the only two agents with a long duration of action, although they have almost never been formally compared in terms of efficacy. We took advantage of an accidental disruption in CERA supply to study the effect of its replacement with DA in the same patients.
