title: [Erythropoiesis and iron metabolism in autologous blood donation].
abstract: Autologous blood donation before elective surgery has been widely endorsed as good transfusion practice. Although only 6 percent of patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery are unable to donate 3 autologous units, 40 percent cannot donate 4 units because they become anemic [1,2]. According to the results of our study this must be due to different problems in bone marrow dynamics, which cannot be overcome by unselected use of human recombinant erythropoietin alone [3].
