INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Ferric Carboxymaltose is a safe efficacious alternative to Iron Sucrose for treatment of Iron deficiency anemia in non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Ferric Carboxymaltose causes similar or higher rise in hemoglobin concentration and serum Ferritin and transferrin saturation * What medical problems will participants have when receiving Ferric Carboxymaltose Participants will: * Be administered either Ferric Carboxymaltose or Iron Sucrose * Visit the clinic at day 28 and 56 for checkup and tests * Be monitored for any medical problem during and after infusion

Interventions
This study will dose each patient according to their calculated iron deficit through Ganozi formula Iron deficit(mg) = bodyweight(kg) x (target Hb - actual Hb) (g/dl) x 2.4 + Iron storage depot(mg)
