Secondary outcomes (5)
Hemoglobin Level Based on the Type of Kidney Transplantation Performed
Participants were classified based on the type of kidney transplantation they underwent before entering in to the study in to two groups; participants who received living donation and participants who received cadaveric donation.
Measured: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 7, Month 8, Month 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12, Month 13, Month 14, Month 15 and Entire study (Month 1 to Month 15)
Hemoglobin Level Based on the Presence of Inflammatory Diseases
Participants were classified based on the presence of other inflammatory diseases at baseline in to two groups; participants with presence of inflammatory diseases and participants with absence of inflammatory diseases.
Measured: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 7, Month 8, Month 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12, Month 13, Month 14, Month 15 and Entire study (Month 1 to Month 15)
Hemoglobin Level Based on the Etiology of Chronic Kidney Disease
Participants were classified based on the etiology of chronic kidney disease. The different etiological reasons included diabetic vasculopathy, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney, chronic pyelonephritis, other reasons and origin unknown. Hemoglobin levels in participants who had etiology of chronic kidney disease as 'glomerulonephritis' or 'other reasons' were presented as these were the majority of the etiological reasons for chronic kidney disease.
Measured: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 7, Month 8, Month 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12, Month 13, Month 14, Month 15 and Entire study (Month 1 to Month 15)
Hemoglobin Level Based on the Acute Bleeding Episode(s) During the Study
Participants were classified in to two groups based on the presence of acute bleeding episodes during the study; presence or absence of bleeding episodes.
Measured: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 7, Month 8, Month 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12, Month 13, Month 14, Month 15 and Entire study (Month 1 to Month 15)
Hemoglobin Level Based on the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
GFR is described as the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney and was determined using the Cockcroft-Gault formula to calculate the creatinine clearance. For males, creatinine clearance [milliliters per minute (mL/min)] = [(140 minus age) multiplied by (*) (body weight in kilogram [kg]) divided by [72 * serum creatinine milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)]. For females, creatinine clearance (mL/min) = 0.85 * [(140 minus age) * (body weight in kg)] divided by [72 * serum creatinine (mg/dL)]. Participants were classified based on the GFR in to two groups; GFR less than (<) 30 mL/min and in the range of 30-60 mL/min and hemoglobin levels at different visits were presented.
Measured: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 7, Month 8, Month 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12, Month 13, Month 14, Month 15 and Entire study (Month 1 to Month 15)
