24 Biosimilar recombinant EPO induces the production of neutralizing antibodies n = 30 patients with CKD treated with biosimilar Epo and who developed a sudden loss of efficacy Praditpornsilpa et al. Kidney Int 2011

25 IRON

26 NICE Anaemia Management in CKD 2011 People receiving ESA maintenance therapy should be given iron supplements to keep their: serum ferritin levels between 200 and 500 µg/l in both HD and non-hd patients, and either TSAT above 20% (unless ferritin is greater than 800 µg/l) or percentage hypochromic red cells (%HRC) less than 6% (unless ferritin is greater than 800 µg/l).

27 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Anemia in CKD 2012 For adult CKD patients with anemia not on iron or ESA therapy we suggest a trial of iron therapy if an increase in Hb concentration without starting ESA treatment is desired and TSAT is 30% and ferritin is 500 ng/ml ( 500 mg/l)

28 Kovesdy et al. CJASN 2009 Multivariable adjusted log-hazards of all-cause mortality associated with levels of natural-logtransformed serum ferritin concentration non-hd 250 ng/ml

29 Association between serum ferritin and all-cause mortality HD 800 ng/ml Kalantar-Zadeh et al. JASN 2005

30 Association between high risk of death with high serum ferritin levels HD the Nishinomiya Study 92.9 ng/ml cut-off 100 ng/ml Hasuike et al. Clin Exp Nephrol 2010

31 Association between adverse events with high serum ferritin levels (>100 ng/ml) and with high-amplitude ferritin fluctuations Treatment for Renal Anemia on Prognosis (TRAP) study HD Kuragano et al. Kidney Int 2014

32 New anemia guideline: JSDT Iron supplementation should be started in patients with serum ferritin 50 ng/ml in patients NOT treated with ESA. Iron supplementation should be started in patients with TSAT 20 % or serum ferritin 100 ng/ml in patients treated with ESA. Serum ferritin should not exceed 300 ng/ml or 500 ng/ml.

33 Target Hb

51 New anemia guideline: JSDT Target Hb should be 11~13 g/dl for non-hd CKD patients and PD patients, and 10~12 g/dl for HD patients, respectively. Target Hb should be individualized based on the personal conditions of the patient.

52 ESA hyporesponsiveness

53 2010

54 Based on changes of Hb during the 1 st month Poor response Better response Quartile 1 Quartile 2 Quartile 3 Quartile 4 Hb change (%) <2 2 to <8 8 to <15 15 Median (g/dl) (interquartile range) -0.2 (-0.7 to 0.0) 0.5 (0.4 to 0.7) 1.2 (1.0 to 1.4) 2.0 (1.7 to 2.6)

55 Death, myocardial infarction, apoplexy, heart failure, or hospitalization due to cardiac ischemia

56 EPO hyporesponsiveness : RISCAVID study death cardiovascular events n=753 (HD patients) ESAs resistance index (ERI): the weekly ESAs dose / kgbw / Hb (g/dl) Panichi et al. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2011

57 EPO hyporesponsiveness and risk of ESRD n=194 (non-hd) ESA-R: (Hb 1 Hb 0 )/time/esa Minutolo et al. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2012

58 New anemia guideline: JSDT The definition of ESA hyporesponsiveness remains unclear. Failure of achievement of target Hb with the dose of ESA approved by the administration authorities or the government suggests ESA hyporesponsiveness. A cause of ESA hyporesponsiveness should be investigated before increasing the dose of ESA.

59 Clinical management of myelodysplastic syndromes: Japanese Society of Hematology guideline 40 60,000 U of EPO (once to three times per week) (grade A) is recommended

60 Clinical management of myelodysplastic syndromes: update of SIE, SIES, GITMO practice guidelines Fixed, rather than weight-adjusted, weekly subcutaneous doses of 60 80,000 U of EPO (once-a-week or subdivided in two doses) (grade A) or 300 μg darbepoetin (once-aweek) should be used (grade B) for at least 12 weeks, possibly more than 20 (grade B). Santini et al. Leuk Res 2010

61 ESAs are not associated with increased risk of thrombosis in patients with MDS Smith et al. Haematologica 2012

62 Anemia treatment should be individualized based on the personal conditions of the patient.
