Pharmacological Adjuvants to Limit Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents Exposure
Anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common, causing morbidity and mortality, and is primarily due to reduced erythropoietin (EPO) release and, to a lesser degree, shortened red cell survival. Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents like epoetin Alfa and darbepoetin alpha are used commonly to treat this form of anemia. Recent evidence suggests increased morbidity and mortality associated with hi...
متن کاملArterial hypertension induced by erythropoietin and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA).
This review summarizes the evidence for a hypertensinogenic effect of Erythropoietin (Epo) in normal human subjects and predialysis, hemodialysis, and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. The possible mechanisms of Epo-induced hypertension are examined with in vivo animal and in vitro data, as well as pathophysiological human studies in both normal subjects and CKD patient...
متن کاملUnraveling the Mystery of Erythropoietin-Stimulating Agents in Cancer Promotion
Erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESA) are approved for use in treating chemotherapy-induced anemia in patients with nonmyeloid malignancies. However, recent clinical trials have shown evidence of inferior overall survival and/or locoregional control of tumors in patients receiving ESAs. Given these concerning data, current studies are focused on elucidating the biological mechanisms by which ...
متن کاملDevelopment of an erythropoietin prescription simulator to improve abilities for the prescription of erythropoietin stimulating agents: Is it feasible?
BACKGROUND The increasing use of erythropoietins with long half-lives and the tendency to lengthen the administration interval to monthly injections call for raising awareness on the pharmacokinetics and risks of new erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESA). Their pharmacodynamic complexity and individual variability limit the possibility of attaining comprehensive clinical experience. In order ...
متن کاملFETAL DEATHS AND PARENTAL EXPOSURE TO CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS
In the present work we studied the incidence of fetal deaths among conceptions whose fathers or both parents were survivors of chemical warfare attacks by Iraq. We showed that there was significant correlation between frequency of fetal deaths among conceptions which eventuated after exposure of the parents to gas bombs compared to the frequency of fetal deaths among the control group. Thi...
