Serum Erythropoietin (ESF) Titers in Anemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Erythropoietin (ESF) titers were determined in sera from patients with different types of anemia using the fetal mouse liver cell bioassay. An inverse relationship was found between hemoglobin concentration and ESF titer. However, ESF titers differed markedly between patients at comparable degrees of anemia. Several groups of patients were distinguished on the basis of the activity of their erythroid bone marrow. In each of these groups. a significant negative correlation was found between the hemoglobin concentration and the logarithm of the ESF titer. ESF titers in patients with pure red cell aplasia were fourfold higher than those in patients with iron-deficiency anemia and tenfold higher than those in patients with megaloblastic anemia and homozygous sickle cell anemia at compara-

متن کاملSerum erythropoietin (ESF) titers in polycythemia.
Serum ESF titers were measured in 42 polycythemic patients using the fetal mouse liver cell bioassay. ESF titers in patients with secondary polycythemia differed significantly from those in patients with polycythemia vera (p less than 0.0001). Among the 21 patients with secondary polycythemia, 1 patient had an ESF titer less than 10 mU/ml (the lower limit of sensitivity) and 20 had ESF titers t...

متن کاملThe anemia of chronic disorders: studies of marrow regulation and iron metabolism.
Marrow regulation and iron metabolism were evaluated in 17 patients with mild or moderate anemia associated with chronic disorders. In addition, whole blood P50 and red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) levels were measured. The study group consisted of seven patients with non-hematologic malignancies, nine with infection or inflammation, and one with idiopathic hypoproliferative anemia. The me...

In an attempt to clarify the role of the kidney in the action of several androgens and steroid metabolites on erythropoietin (ESF) production, ESF titers were measured in perfusates of isolated kidneys from dogs previously exposed to 4-hr hypoxia and perfused with blood containing testosterone (Test), 5a-1 7 -hydroxyandrostan-3-one (BaD HT), 5 -1 7$hydroxyandrostan-3-one (5flDHT), 1 9-nortestos...
