NCT ID: NCT03481686 Completed - Clinical trials for Renal Insufficiency, Chronic

Therapeutic Education of Chronic Renal or Renal Transplant Patient in the Management of EPO Injections

SELFEPO
Start date: September 21, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In chronic kidney disease, ESAs (Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents) are used to treat anemia. This anemia is due to decreased renal production of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Treatment of anemia increases survival, decreases morbidity and improves quality of life and exercise tolerance. Self-administration of ASE has been encouraged for many years, notably with pens for injection, but only few patients are educated in the injection technique. The investigators therefore wish to lead a study in the Nephrology department of Rennes University Hospital to educate the patient, or his or her spouse, on ESA injections during hospitalization, in order to empower the patient in his care, and with the second aim of reducing the costs of chronic renal insufficiency.
