The efficacy of erythropoietin (EPO) in 11 children on hemodialysis (HD) and 8 on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (mean age 11.8 years) was compared. The initial EPO dose was 50 U/kg s.c. once a week; the time of observation was 24 weeks. In the CAPD group, the mean hemoglobin (Hb) level increased from 7.7 +/- 0.2 to 11.2 +/- 0.6 g/dl (P < 0.001) and hematocrit (Hct) from 22.3 +/- 1.0 to 32.6 +/- 1.4% (P < 0.001), while in the HD group the mean Hb rose from 7.7 +/- 0.6 to 9.3 +/- 0.8 g/dl (P < 0.001) and mean Hct from 22.7 +/- 2.3 to 27.6 +/- 2.8% (P < 0.001) after 12 weeks of observation. An increase in Hb to over 10 g/dl was obtained in 87.5% of children on CAPD but in only 10% on HD after 8 weeks of EPO treatment. After 12 weeks of treatment, all children on CAPD had the target Hb level of more than 10 g/dl, while 7 children on HD required increased doses of EPO (100 U/kg per week). We conclude that the EPO dose of 50 u/kg given s.c. once a week is effective for children with anemia on CAPD but is insufficient for children on HD.
比较了促红细胞生成素(EPO)对11名接受血液透析(HD)的儿童和8名接受持续性非卧床腹膜透析(CAPD)的儿童(平均年龄11.8岁)的疗效。初始EPO剂量为每周一次皮下注射50 U/kg;观察时间为24周。在CAPD组中,平均血红蛋白(Hb)水平从7.7±0.2 g/dl升至11.2±0.6 g/dl(P<0.001),血细胞比容(Hct)从22.3±1.0%升至32.6±1.4%(P<0.001),而在HD组中,观察12周后,平均Hb从7.7±0.6 g/dl升至9.3±0.8 g/dl(P<0.001),平均Hct从22.7±2.3%升至27.6±2.8%(P<0.001)。EPO治疗8周后,87.5%接受CAPD的儿童Hb升至超过10 g/dl,但接受HD的儿童中只有10%达到此水平。治疗12周后,所有接受CAPD的儿童Hb水平均达到目标值超过10 g/dl,而7名接受HD的儿童需要增加EPO剂量(每周100 U/kg)。我们得出结论,每周一次皮下注射50 u/kg的EPO剂量对CAPD贫血儿童有效,但对HD儿童不足。
