Death, hospitalization, and economic associations among incident hemodialysis patients with hematocrit values of 36 to 39%.
Anemia treatment with epoetin has led to dramatic increases in hematocrit levels since 1989. Studies have demonstrated that morbidity and mortality rates are lower when hematocrit values are within the Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (DOQI) target range (33 to 36%). Recently, clinical studies demonstrated that patients without cardiovascular disease exhibited lower morbidity rates and impro...
متن کاملHematocrit level and associated mortality in hemodialysis patients.
Although a number of clinical studies have shown that increased hematocrits are associated with improved outcomes in terms of cognitive function, reduced left ventricular hypertrophy, increased exercise tolerance, and improved quality of life, the optimal hematocrit level associated with survival has yet to be determined. The association between hematocrit levels and patient mortality was retro...
متن کاملInfections Requiring Hospitalization in Patients on Hemodialysis.
Although the past decade has witnessed significant improvements in survival for patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) (1), hospitalization rates, particularly for infection, have not improved commensurately. Notable lack of progress is evident regarding hospitalizations for bacteremia/septicemia and pulmonary infections, such as pneumonia and influenza (2). For bacteremia/septicemia, first–year ...
متن کاملWeekly subcutaneous erythropoietin maintains hematocrit in chronic hemodialysis patients.
R ecombinant human enythropoietin (r-HuEPO) is widely used to treat the anemia of chronic renal failure. Standard therapy is to administer r-HuEPO at doses of 50 to 1 50 U/kg iv three times a week after hemodiabysis treatment (1-3). This route of administration and dosing schedule are based on pharmacokmnetic studies that demonstrate that the half-life for an iv dose is approximately 6 to 9 h (...
