Pharmacologic doses of recombinant human erythropoietin in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes [see comments]

TL;DR: These studies indicate that rhEPO can be administered safely in very high doses to patients with MDS and that 24% of these patients will respond with increased erythropoiesis.

Red Blood Cell Regeneration Induced by Subcutaneous Recombinant Erythropoietin: Iron-Deficient Erythropoiesis in Iron-Replete Subjects

TL;DR: Subcutaneous rEPO is an effective stimulant of erythropoiesis in nonanemic blood donors, however, in addition to eventual depletion of iron stores, early functional iron deficiency affects response to the drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical pharmacology and economics of recombinant human erythropoietin in end-stage renal disease: the case for subcutaneous administration.

TL;DR: Pharmacokinetic simulations in conjunction with clinical correlation of the erythropoietic response suggest that the duration that the ersatz levels are maintained, and not the absolute peaks, is the primary determinant of efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of haemoglobin normalization on quality of life and cardiovascular parameters in end‐stage renal failure

TL;DR: There may be a significant haemodynamic and symptomatic advantage in maintaining a physiological [Hb] in haemodialysis patients, and a substantially higher dose of epoetin is required to maintain this level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacologic doses of recombinant human erythropoietin in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes.

TL;DR: A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of high doses of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) was conducted in this article.
