Abstract

Correction of anaemia as a result of renal failure improves cardiovascular function and also provides significant cognitive and emotional benefits. The most appropriate route for iron supplementation has not been determined for patients with chronic renal failure who are not yet on dialysis. Forty-five anaemic patients with progressive renal insufficiency (PRI) were prospectively randomized to receive oral (ferrous sulphate 200 mg tds) or intravenous (300 mg iron sucrose monthly) iron treatment. Erythropoietin (rHuEpo) was simultaneously commenced and the dose adjusted according to a pre-established protocol. There were no significant differences in baseline patient characteristics between the two groups. The average follow-up was 5.2 months. Three patients suffered possible allergic reactions to iron sucrose. Haemoglobin response and changes in red cell hypochromasia were similar in the two groups, but serum ferritin was significantly higher in the intravenous group. The starting dose of rHuEpo could be temporarily discontinued in 43% of patients on oral iron and 33% of patients receiving iron sucrose (NS). rHuEpo was increased after 3 months in 9% of patients on oral iron and 19% of patients receiving iron sucrose (NS).

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
