The use of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) corrects the anemia of chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients and improves their quality of life. The role of r-HuEPO in the genesis of graft thrombosis is controversial. A retrospective study was conducted of 46 stable chronic HD patients receiving r-HuEPO. It showed an increase in graft thrombosis in those who received the drug.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
