title: Case management of the anemic patient. Epoetin alfa: focus on renal transplantation.
abstract: Candidates for kidney transplant are susceptible to a variety of problems related to blood transfusions, including sensitization and infection. Because of delayed graft function or rejection, these problems often persist after transplantation. Epoetin alfa therapy offers a method of maintaining the red cell count while avoiding the risks of transfusion.
