WHAT ARANESP IS USED
FOR
Aranesp is used to treat anaemia that
comes about because of chronic renal
failure (kidney failure). Anaemia is
when your blood does not contain
enough red blood cells.
In kidney failure, the kidney does not
produce enough of the natural
hormone erythropoietin.
Erythropoietin encourages your bone
marrow to produce more red blood
cells. Kidney failure can often cause
anaemia, which may require you to
have blood transfusions.
Aranesp is a recombinant
erythropoietic protein produced by
special mammalian cells. Your
doctor has given you Aranesp to treat
your anaemia. It will reduce your
need for blood transfusions. Aranesp
will help your bone marrow to
produce more red blood cells, like
your natural erythropoietin. The
active ingredient of Aranesp is
darbepoetin alfa that works in exactly
the same way as the natural hormone
erythropoietin.
It will take your body a short time to
make red blood cells, so it will be
about 4 weeks before you notice any
effect. If you are on dialysis, your
normal dialysis routine will not affect
the ability of Aranesp to treat your
anaemia.
Your doctor may have prescribed
Aranesp for another reason. Ask your
doctor if you have any questions
about why Aranesp has been
prescribed for you.
BEFORE YOU USE IT
_WHEN YOU MUST NOT USE IT_

Use in Cancer
In some studies, use of Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESAs) to
treat anaemia in
patients with cancer has been associated with increased mortality.
ESAs should only be
used to treat anaemia that has developed as a result of concomitantly
administered
chemotherapy, and only when blood transfusion is not considered
appropriate.
Haemoglobin levels should not exceed 120 g/L (see section 4.4 Special
