• People whose kidneys are working at a reduced level, measured by a specific formula using height and a blood test result called creatinine
• People whose most recent blood test showed a haemoglobin level (a measure of red blood cells) of at least 9.0 g/dL
• People whose most recent blood test showed a haemoglobin level below a certain limit based on age and sex: below 11.5 g/dL for children under 5; below 12.0 g/dL for children aged 5–12; below 12.5 g/dL for children aged 12–15 and females over 15; below 13.5 g/dL for males over 15
• People whose blood tests show low iron stores — specifically, a transferrin saturation of 20% or less AND a ferritin level of 100 ng/mL or less — may be placed into a specific group within the trial (confirm with trial site)

Who may not be able to join:

• People whose transferrin saturation (an iron level measurement) is below 5%
• People whose ferritin level (another iron store measurement) is below 10 ng/mL
• People who have received iron treatment or red blood cell stimulating medication (such as erythropoietin) in the 3 months before joining the trial
• People who have had a blood transfusion in the 4 months before joining the trial
• Children who are currently on haemodialysis (a machine-based kidney treatment)
