Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - EMAN

Active Comparator: EMAN - Electronic auditing via synchronised blood tests and monthly dosing ESA and Home delivery of ESA from Pharmacy if required

No Intervention: Control - Standard Outpatient Care with usual blood tests and follow up, and varied ESA dosing and frequency times. Patients are responsible for collecting their own ESA from Pharmacy


Other interventions: EMAN

Summary
Brief summary
Aims:

1. To establish an electronic process for CKD anaemia management using monthly synchronized
dosing of erythrocyte stimulating agents (ESA).

2. To compare this electronic process with "present anaemia management" in the traditional
outpatient setting.

3. To monitor Hb targets and clinical endpoints of study groups to model a larger
multicentre study focusing on these endpoints.
