[Comparison of clinical parameters of chronically hemodialyzed patients not requiring treatment with erythropoietin and patients treated with erythropoietin].
50 patients with terminal renal failure treated with chronic haemodialysis were examined. 24 of them (48%) did not require treatment with erythropoietin (rHuEPO) because of permanent haemoglobin concentration was 9.5 g/dl (5.91 mmol/l) and hematocrite more than 30%. Clinical data of two groups of patients were compared: 1) patients not requiring treatment with rHu EPO, 2) patients requiring treatment with rHu EPO. Attention was paid to the sex, age, the kind of disease which caused renal failure, the duration of dialysotherapy, liver function, HBs antigenemia, presence anti-HCV antibodies, ultrasonographic estimation of patients own kidneys; liver. Patients who did not require treatment with rHu EPO were older, longer treated with chronic haemodialysis and more frequently cysts in their own kidneys were seen. Any significant differences were not observed in both groups of patients as regards their antigenemia HBs or presence of anti HCV-antibodies. The important cardiovascular disease was observed more frequently in patients requiring treatment with rHu EPO.
