Clinical data of anemia including hemoglobin, serum iron, iron saturation, dosage of erythropoietin (EPO) and iron supplements were collected quarterly and then analyzed those data. In the first period of 25 quarters, in a certain range, increased dose of erythropoietin and iron content, can make the patient's hemoglobin gradually increased to the ideal level, which helps to treat the symptoms of anemia patients. Results of comparation before and after the education program showed that with the enhance the EPO injection compliance and treat anemia with the proper dose of EPO, the PD patients have stable level of Hemoglobin, accompanying with the decreased dose of oral Iron and intravenous iron. It was shown that hemoglobin value was constantly stable. Treat anemia with proper dose of EPO individually could cure anemia effectively with the reducing of iron ...Continue Reading
