COULD ANAEMIA BE CONSUMING YOUR CKD PATIENTS?
Anaemia is a common comorbidity of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), affecting one in five patients.1 Several studies have shown that anaemia can have serious consequences for health and quality of life for patients.2-6
At Astellas, we strive to improve the health of people all over the world and to find better solutions to diseases and conditions, where there are unmet needs. And we consider this to be the case within nephrology – in particular when it comes to anaemia of CKD.
We want to take the opportunity to provide more information about anaemia of CKD and give you a chance to test your knowledge with a short quiz.
To stay updated on developments within anaemia of CKD, please sign up below, for more information.

TAKE THE CHALLENGE AND GAIN NEW INSIGHTS ABOUT ANAEMIA AND CKD PATIENTS
Background for the quiz
Anaemia could be consuming patients with advanced CKD. Not only in terms of physical impact, such as serious CV complications, but also in terms of impared quality of life.
The questions in this quiz are based on the findings in published studies.2,7,8
