Reporting Groups
  Description
MIRCERA Participants with chronic renal anemia, on dialysis, received 0.6 microgram per kilogram of body weight (mcg/kg) of Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (MIRCERA/RO0503821), intravenously once every two weeks for 16 weeks. A telephonic / physical follow-up visit took place 2 weeks after the end of the MIRCERA treatment period.
