All conventional hemodialysis patients currently dialysing in the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) Dialysis Programs will convert from intravenous to subcutaneous administration of ESA. Those currently on IV epoetin alfa will be converted to either SC epoetin alfa or SC epoetin beta. Those patients on IV darbepoetin alfa will convert to SC darbepoetin alfa. Conversion to SC epoetin formulations will be based upon a 80-100% dose conversion factor, to ensure patient Hb does not fall below 11.0 g/dL and to allow estimation of the conversion factor from IV to SC in an Australian clinical practice setting. There will be no dose reduction with SC darbepoetin alfa. The ESA will continue to be administered by the dialysis nurse with the initial dosing schedule being no more frequent than once per week. If patients move between dialysis units they will remain treated with their allocated ESA.
