Recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-EPO) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of renal anemia. Additionally, rh-EPO improves the hemostatic defect of uremia. On the other hand, a hypertensinogen effect and an increased risk for thrombosis have been reported in hemodialysis (HD) patients with rh-EPO. 20 HD patients in Homburg were recruited for a multicenter, placebo-controlled study (MF 3981), aiming to assess the risk of rh-EPO. Initially, 10 patients received rh-EPO at a dose of 3 x 80 U/kg body weight and week which was subsequently adjusted according to the hematocrit. After 6 months, the patients receiving placebo were changed to rh-EPO therapy. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained before, as well as 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after beginning of the study. Erythrocyte counts increased significantly in the rh-EPO group. Also, an increase of platelet count, fibrinogen and plasma viscosity was observed during rh-EPO. Tissue type plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor as well as von-Willebrand-factor remained unchanged, although a shortening of the bleeding time was observed. Blood pressure and arterial blood flow were not influenced by rh-EPO. |
