High mortality among patients with advanced renal failure is directly related to the severity of anemia and hypoalbuminemia, particularly within the first six months.4, 5 Currently, the main treatment modalities for anemia in CKD include injections of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs), iron supplementation, and blood transfusion. EPO resistance and iron refractory anemia require red blood cell transfusions.\n\nThe rationale of this study is to compare the effectiveness of daprodustat versus epoetin alpha on hemoglobin level in patients with chronic kidney disease not on hemodialysis. Literature showed that epoetin alpha has better effectiveness in improving hemoglobin level and curing anemia in CKD patients. But conflicting results have been osbevred showing no difference in both drugs. In routine, both drugs are recommended for anemia in non-dialysis CKD patients. This trial is planned to check the effect of Daprodustat in patients not undergoing dialysis is primarily to provide an effective, orally administered alternative to current injectable anemia treatments, which are associated with several limitations and safety concerns. The treatment strategies and effectiveness optimization for patients with chronic kidney disease complicated by anemia remain a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed.",[26,27],"Chronic Kidney Disease (Stages 3b-5)","Anemia Associated With Chronic Kidney Disease",[29,30,31],"Anemia","Daprodustat","Epoetin Alpha","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-08-04",{"date":35,"type":36},"2026-08-10","ACTUAL",{"date":38,"type":20},"2026-09-01",{"date":40,"type":20},"2027-02-28",{"name":42,"class":43},"Services Hospital, Lahore","OTHER_GOV",""]
