Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:

2. Age =18 years at screening visit 1
3. Previous versions of the protocol prior to US amendment ver 6.0 and outside of US amendment ver 7.0:

Patients treated with hemodialysis must have access consisting of an arteriovenous fistula, AV graft, or tunneled (permanent) catheter. Patients on peritoneal dialysis must have a functioning peritoneal dialysis catheter in place.

Starting with US amendment ver. 6.0 and outside of US amendment ver 7.0 (changed to recruit incident dialysis patients only):

Patients treated with hemodialysis must have access consisting of an arteriovenous fistula, AV graft, or tunneled (permanent) catheter. Patients on peritoneal dialysis must have a functioning peritoneal dialysis catheter in place.
4. Two central laboratory Hb values during the screening period, obtained at least 7 days apart, must be <12 g/dL in patients currently treated with an erythropoietin analogue or <10 g/dL in patients not currently treated with an erythropoietin analogue.
