[Effect of acute viral hepatitis B on erythropoiesis in chronic hemodialyzed patients]. 1983

The influence of acute hepatitis B on erythropoiesis has been investigated in 30 chronic hemodialyzed patients (mean age 48.3 years; mean duration of dialysis until first demonstration of Hbs-antigen 6.5 months). After onset of hepatitis the mean hematocrit value increased significantly (p less than 0.005) and in 15 of the 30 dialysis patients this increase was more than 10% of the initial value. In these 15 patients the mean value of the hematocrit increased from 21.7 to 27.7%. This maximum value was observed after 4 months on average, and the favourable effect on erythropoiesis was observed for 7.8 months on average. The groups of patients with and without increase in hematocrit (more than 10% of the initial value) after hepatitis differed significantly (p less than 0.01) in extent of the observed increase in transaminases. The importance of extrarenal, hepatic erythropoietin production for the stimulation of erythropoiesis during hepatitis in chronic hemodialyzed patients is discussed.

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
D005260 Female Females
D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
