Normalization of hemoglobin level in patients with chronic kidney disease and anemia.
BACKGROUND Whether correction of anemia in patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease improves cardiovascular outcomes is not established. METHODS We randomly assigned 603 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 15.0 to 35.

THE ESTIMATION OF PEPSIN, TRYPSIN, PAPAIN, AND CATHEPSIN WITH HEMOGLOBIN
In the hemoglobin method for the estimation of proteinase, denatured hemoglobin is digested under standard conditions, the undigested hemoglobin is precipitated with trichloracetic acid, and the amount of unprecipitated protein split products, which is a
