Official Title: Research of Pure Red Cell Aplasia in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and in Use of Epoetin Alfa Produced by Immunobiological Technology Institute (Bio-Manguinhos) Fro

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine occurrence of pure red cell aplasia in a group of participants with chronic renal insufficiency and with resistance criteria to epoetin alfa treatment.The investigational product is producted by Bio-Manguinhos / Fiocruz (BIO-EPO) and it is provided by the Unified Health System.
