D URING measurements of total body red cell volume by the Cr51-technic in this laboratory, normal or elevated values were observed in several patients with moderate “anemia”, as judged by the hematocrit of peripheral venous blood. #{176} In each instance, marked to massive splenomegaly was present and increased localization of red cell radioactivity in the spleen was noted by body surface scann...

Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is available for correcting anemia. PDpoetin, a new brand of rHuEPO, has been certified by Food and Drug Department of Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran for clinical use in patients with chronic kidney disease. We conducted this post-marketing survey to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of PDpoetin for management of anemia in patie...

Background: β-thalassemia is the most common hereditary disease in Iran, and more than 2 million carriers of β-thalassemia live in Iran. On the other hand, our country is located in the thalassemia belt, and no comprehensive study has been conducted regarding the effect of erythropoietin on blood parameters in thalassemia intermedia patients in our region. Therefore this study aimed to investig...

METHODS From November 1, 2004, to October 1, 2009, 7957 patients underwent cardiac surgery supported by cardiopulmonary bypass and were not transfused. The relatio...

The association of hematocrit with development of hypertension over 9 years was studied in 784 hypertension-free Japanese men aged 40 to 59 years. The age-adjusted relative risk for hypertension above the borderline level and definite hypertension increased in a dose-dependent manner as hematocrit level increased (P for trend: 0.007 and 0.001, respectively). After controls for other potential f...

conclusions although some studies showed association between anemia and extubation failure, the current study could not confirm it. the study showed that males, regardless of the hct level, had a better extubation success rate than those of females. results there was no significant association between the level of hct concentration and extubation failure (8.9% vs. 9.2%, p = 0.507). gender and a...
