Bone marrow cells of patients with chronic renal failure were studied in short-term in vitro cultures to determine erythropietin responsiveness. Seven normals and fourtheen patients on hemodialysis were studied. Bone marrow cells of normal subjects and of patients with chronic renal failure responded similarly to erythropoietin. Total heme synthesis was significantly lower in cultures prepared with uremic serum than normal serum. We conclude that there is a substance in the serum of uremic patients which suppresses general heme synthesis and that this "uremic toxin" may be responsible, in part, for the clinically severe anemia seen in these patients.
