Abstract:   (5543 Views)
We have used recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) in children with chronic renal failure. There was significant improvement in anemia and wellbeing, along with regression of left ventricular mass and no change in the rate of decline of renal function. It is safe and effective in the pre-dialysis as well as the hemodialysis period. Considering the benefits of r-HuEPO, transplantation in children can be postponed to a later time, when sufficient growth and development have occurred, leading to better results of transplantation
Keywords: Recombinanl human erythropoietin. Chronic renal failure. Predialysis, Hemodialysis
