Abstract

Anemia and malnutrition are significant complications in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Previous studies in hemodialysis have shown that androgens are effective as therapy for anemia; however, this has not been tested in a randomized prospective trial in PD patients. Furthermore, the anabolic properties of androgens may exert additional benefits on the nutritional status in this population. Twenty-seven stable male patients over 50 years who were under maintenance continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) therapy were randomized to receive recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO; N = 14) or nandrolone decanoate (ND; 200 mg/week IM; N = 13) as therapy for anemia. The evolution of hematologic parameters and the impact on both nutritional anthropometric and biochemical variables were evaluated after six months of treatment. Hemoglobin and hematocrit experienced similar increases in both groups: from 8.5 +/- 0.9 g/dL and 25.8 +/- 2.7% to 11.7 +/- 0.6 g/dL and 34.7 +/- 1.6% (P < 0.001) in patients receiving rHuEPO, and from 8.9 +/- 0.8 and 27 +/- 2.2% to 11.8 +/- 0.4 g/dL and 35.1 +/- 1.5% (P < 0.001) in subjects treated with ND. At the end of the study, out of the diverse nutritional variables included in this investiga...Continue Reading

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.
