A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11857543B2) discloses a method for treating anemia secondary to or associated with chronic kidney disease. The method involves orally administering a compound known as {[5-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbonyl]amino}acetic acid to patients with anemia, particularly those with stage 3, 4, or 5 chronic kidney disease or pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease. The compound can be administered once daily and is effective in maintaining hemoglobin levels within a specific range, with adjustments in dosage based on the patient's response.

Furthermore, the patent outlines the administration of the compound in combination with other medicaments, such as iron supplements, to manage anemia effectively. The method includes specific guidelines for adjusting the daily dose of the compound based on changes in hemoglobin levels observed in patients over time. The patent also specifies the dosage form of the compound, with each tablet containing 150 mg of the active ingredient. Overall, the method provides a structured approach to treating anemia in chronic kidney disease patients, offering a potentially effective and tailored treatment regimen to manage this common complication associated with the condition.
