Effect of intravenous administration of vitamin C on erythropoietin resistant anemia in hemodialysis patients.

Effect of Receiving Intravenous Vitamin C on Dyslipidemia in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Background: Dyslipidemia is one of the major causes of the production and progression of atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients. Vitamin C is able to improve dyslipidemia by reducing an oxidative stress. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin C supplementation on dyslipidemia in hemodialysis patients. Methods: In a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, 160 patient...

Subcutaneous versus intravenous recombinant human erythropoietin administration in hemodialysis patients.

Higher Endogenous Erythropoietin Levels in Hemodialysis Patients with Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Effect on Anemia

Study for influence of chronic Hepatitis C (HCV) on endogenous erythropoietin production and on anemia in dialysis patients remains inconclusive. We hypothesize that chronic hemodialysis patients with co-existing Hepatitis C infection will have higher hemoglobin levels than chronic hemodialysis patients without hepatitis C infection. Secondly, we hypothesize that the higher hemoglobin levels wi...

Effect of hepatitis C infection on anemia in hemodialysis patients.

Hepatitis C (HCV) infection is commonly seen in dialysis patients, but its long-term deleterious effects in these patients are unknown. We evaluated the effect of HCV infection on anemia in our hemodialysis population. This retrospective case control study was carried out from January 1999 to February 2007. The HCV positive patients were assessed for a 12-month period by quarterly lab results f...
