The Effect of Roxadustat on Renal Oxygenation in Diabetes Nephropathy

"The group will receive Roxadustat (Evrenzo) three times weekly at an initial dose of 70mg (for body weight \<100.0 kg) or 100 mg (for body weight weight ≥100.0 kg). The dosage for both arms will be adjusted to keep Hb at the recommended levels between 11-12g/dl.~The aim is to investigate the effects of systemic administration of Evrenzo (Roxadustat \[RD\]) or Aranesp (darbepoetin alpha \[DA\]) on the levels of renal oxygenation in patients with diabetic nephropathy and associated anemia."

The dosage for both arms will be adjusted to keep Hb at the recommended levels between 11-12g/dl.~The aim is to investigate the effects of systemic administration of Evrenzo (Roxadustat \[RD\]) or Aranesp (darbepoetin alpha \[DA\]) on the levels of renal oxygenation in patients with diabetic nephropathy and associated anemia."
