The Efficacy of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin in Treatment Chemotherapy Induced Anemia in Children Diagnosed with a Solid Cancer
Background Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) treatment can increase hemoglobin levels and decrease transfusion requirements. This study aims to investigate how blood transfusion influences Hemoglobin levels in patients receiving rHuEPO for 12 weeks. Materials and Methods This was a case-control study of 60 patients less than 15 years with anemia and a solid tumor in any location betw...
متن کاملRecombinant Human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO) for the Treatment of the Anemia of Cancer.
Advanced cancer is frequently associated with a significant anemia that may be due to the disease itself or the effect of concomitantly administered chemotherapeutic agents. In a series of double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, three populations of anemic cancer patients were randomized to rHuEPO or placebo. The three populations were: A) patients not receiving concomitant chemotherapy, B) pa...
متن کاملEffects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rHuEpo) on the Blood Cells and Hematopoiesis in Spleen of Rats
Recombinant human erythropoietin is a glycoprotein hormone that stimulates erythropoiesis. In clonogenic assays of hematopoietic progenitors, high concen-trations of erythropoietin (Epo) increase CFU-E and diminish the number of granulocytes formed per culture plate. Fetal progenitors are more sensitive to these effects of Epo than progenitors from adults. We administered doses 50, 100, 200 IU/...
متن کاملThe Effects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on Antihuman Lymphocyte Antibodies Titer in Sensitized Rats
Erythropoietin (EPO) was first known as a factor for red blood cell proliferation and differentiation. Recent studies show the effects of EPO on immune system. In this study the antihuman leukocyte antibody (anti-HLA) titer were determined in five groups of rats, which had been sensitized with human lymphocyte. Also, the effects of stimulation's frequency and dose of recombinant human erythropo...
متن کاملRecombinant Human Erythropoietin in Cancer-Related Anemia
The clinical development of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) has had a remarkable impact on the clinical practice of oncology. A decade ago, randomized, placebo-controlled trials in anemic cancer patients demonstrated that rHuEPO resulted in an improvement in hemoglobin and hematocrit, a reduction in transfusion requirements, and improvement in quality-of-life (QOL) end points. Based o...
