RECOMBINANT ERYTHROPOIETIN AND BLOOD TRANSFUSION IN VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS
ABSTRACT Background: Very low birth weight infants ( <1500 g) frequently require blood transfusions because of repeated blood sampling accompanied by anemia of prematurity. Methods: In an attempt to identify the effect of human recombinant erythropoietin to decrease the requirement for blood transfusions, erythropoietin was administered to 24 pre term infants less than 1500 g prospectively fro...
متن کاملDifferences between the N-glycans of human serum erythropoietin and recombinant human erythropoietin.
The differences between the N-glycans of human erythropoietin (hEPO), extracted from serum, and recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) reported by Skibeli et al1 have received attention in the editorials of 2 other journals. One suggested that these differences might be involved in the etiology of the autoimmune pure red cell aplasia found in some patients treated with rhEPO.2 The other sugge...
متن کاملEffect of single recombinant human erythropoietin injection on transfusion requirements in preoperatively anemic patients undergoing valvular heart surgery.
BACKGROUND The authors investigated the effect of a single preoperative bolus of erythropoietin on perioperative transfusion requirement and erythropoiesis in patients with preoperative anemia undergoing valvular heart surgery. METHODS In this prospective, single-site, single-blinded, randomized, and parallel-arm controlled trial, 74 patients with preoperative anemia were randomly allocated t...
متن کاملRecombinant erythropoietin and blood transfusion in selected preterm infants.
OBJECTIVES To comprehensively identify preterm infants likely to require blood transfusion and to investigate the effectiveness of recombinant erythropoietin in this high risk subgroup. DESIGN Double blind randomised controlled trial. SETTING Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Middlemore Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand. PATIENTS Preterm infants < 33 weeks gestation and < 1700 g birth weight me...
متن کاملBenefits and concerns of treating pre-dialysis and renal transplant patients with recombinant human erythropoietin.
The possibility of lower efficacy and the fear of an increased incidence of side effects may explain the reluctance to use recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) in patients with impaired renal function who do not yet require dialysis, as well as in transplanted patients with a failing renal allograft. Several recent studies have clearly shown that r-HuEPO is effective in these patient popu...
