Title: Correction of Hemoglobin and Outcomes In Renal Insufficiency
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) randomly assigned to 2 treatment groups, which differ only in their targeted hemoglobin levels. This study will test the primary hypothesis that the level of anemia correction with once weekly dosing of PROCRITÂ® (Epoetin alfa) in patients with chronic kidney disease will decrease mortality and cardiovascular morbidity.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* adult patients, \>18 years of age;
* patients with renal anemia or post-transplant anemia.

Exclusion Criteria:

* poorly controlled hypertension;
* known hypersensitivity to NeoRecormon or darbepoetin alfa.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Chronic Kidney Disease:Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \> 15 mL/min and \> 50 mL/min as calculated by the central lab. HB\<11 g/dL upon study enrollment. The GFR for assessment of patient eligibility will be determined using the formula derived from the Modification of Diet for Renal Disease (MDRD) Study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnant or lactating women
* Presence of uncontrolled hypertension
* Known hypersensitivity to mammalian cell-derived products or human albumin
* Active gastrointestinal bleeding
* Iron overload defined as a transferrin saturation \>70% or ferritin \>1000 ng/mL
* History of frequent blood transfusions in the past 6 months
* Unstable angina or angina pectoris at rest
* Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requiring routine use of supplemental oxygen
* Severe liver dysfunction that is defined by an international normalized ratio \>2.0, not caused by an anticoagulant
* Severe malnutrition
* Active hematological disease (eg, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia)
* Active malignancy (usually defined as malignancy requiring current chemotherapy or radiotherapy)
* Patients with current seizure disorder or activity
* Patients currently receiving RRT (patient can not be on dialysis or have had a kidney transplant)
* Patients who have received Epoetin Alpha within 6 weeks prior to study entry
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* adult patients \>=18 years of age;
* chronic renal anemia;
* not receiving renal replacement therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

* women who are pregnant or lactating;
* previous treatment with erythropoietin or other erythropoietic substance;
* blood transfusion within the last 3 months;
* need for dialysis expected in the next 6 months;
* administration of another investigational drug within 30 days preceding study start, or during the study.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Chronic renal failure with an estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 60 milliliters per minute per 1.73 m\^2 and not expected to begin dialysis for at least 12 weeks.
2. Two consecutive hemoglobin values ≥ 8.0 g/dL and \< 11.0 g/dL within 4 weeks prior to randomization.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Females who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
2. Treatment with an ESA in the 12 weeks prior to randomization.
3. Known intolerance to any ESA, parenteral iron supplementation, or pegylated molecule.
4. Prior chronic hemodialysis or chronic peritoneal dialysis treatment.
5. Known bleeding or coagulation disorder.
6. Known hematologic disease or cause of anemia other than renal disease.
7. Poorly controlled hypertension.
8. Evidence of active malignancy within one year prior to randomization
9. A scheduled kidney transplant.
