Refractory anemia with hyperplastic bone marrow: subclassification based on responsiveness to erythropoietin in vitro. 1977

N E Stathakis, and A S Gidari, and R D Levere

The responsivenes to erythropoietin of cultured bone marrow cells, obtained from 7 patients with refractory anemia with hyperplastic marrow, was studied. 5 of these patients' marrows also exhibited sideroblasti changes. Heme synthesis in cultured bone marow cells was either responsive to stimulation by erythropoietin, or completely refractory. The sensitivity of the bone marrow cells to the hormone was not related to either the clinical or laboratory findings.

D004920 Erythropoiesis The production of red blood cells (ERYTHROCYTES). In humans, erythrocytes are produced by the YOLK SAC in the first trimester; by the liver in the second trimester; by the BONE MARROW in the third trimester and after birth. In normal individuals, the erythrocyte count in the peripheral blood remains relatively constant implying a balance between the rate of erythrocyte production and rate of destruction. Erythropoieses
D004921 Erythropoietin Glycoprotein hormone, secreted chiefly by the KIDNEY in the adult and the LIVER in the FETUS, that acts on erythroid stem cells of the BONE MARROW to stimulate proliferation and differentiation.
