Erythropoietin resistance in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Anemia is one of the most serious complications in patients on dialysis. Erythropoietin improves the anemia. However, erythropoietin resistance is sometimes encountered from causes such as functional iron deficiency, secondary hyperparathyroidism, blood loss, or interaction with other drugs. To clarify the interaction between erythropoietin and the renin-angiotensin system, we studied the maint...
متن کاملImpact of recombinant human erythropoietin treatment on left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac function in dialysis patients.
The results of anemia correction by recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) therapy with regard to cardiac function and left ventricular hypertrophy in dialysis patients are controversially discussed. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of therapy rHuEPO on cardiac morphology and function in dialysis patients. We studied 11 clinically stable hemodialysis patients with severe renal ...
متن کاملEffect of recombinant human erythropoietin on inflammatory status in dialysis patients.
Under normal conditions, inflammatory status is regulated by a complex equilibrium between plasma and intracellular mediators. This equilibrium is broken in patients receiving dialysis, which can lead to chronic inflammation causing deleterious consequences on their organs and systems. During recent years, substances that can inhibit the effects of inflammation have been sought. The results of ...
متن کاملEffect of recombinant human erythropoietin on platelet production in dialysis patients.
Two hundred forty-four anemic hemodialysis patients were randomized into recombinant erythropoietin and placebo-treated groups during a 12-wk double-blind phase, followed by a 24-wk open-label period. Mean platelet count rose from the baseline value of 242 x 10(9)/L to 264 x 10(9)/L on day 5 of epoetin therapy (P < 0.001, paired t test). Mean platelet count peaked at 290 x 10(9)/L on day 40 and...
متن کاملComparison of Marital Satisfaction in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Alternative kidney treatments, including renal transplantation, hemodialysis (HD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD), are administered when severe kidney failure occurs and the kidney can no longer function. The present study compares different dimensions of marital satisfaction in HD and PD patients so as to assist physicians and patients in choosing their appropriate treatment. This cross-se...
