title: [Influence of parathyroidectomy on the anemia of hemodialysis patients (author's transl)].
abstract: The influence of parathyroid hormone (PTH) as a potential toxin responsible for the anemia in hemodialysed patients is suggested by the fact that 6 patients out of 12 showed improvement of their hematocrit four months after parathyroidectomy. Blood iron levels as well as calcemia, phosphoremia and hematocrit before surgery are not indicative of improvement following the intervention. A direct toxicity of PTH on erythropoiesis seems likely.
