N2 - Serum erythropoietin (EPO) concentration was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 31 cases of chronic renal failure (CRF), including 20 hemodialysis (HD) patients, and compared with that of 31 healthy normal controls. Each patient served as a self-control comparing his or her pretreatment level with post-treatment values. There was a significant negative correlation between serum EPO and serum iron ( SI) concentration in HD patients (p M3 ER -
