Erythropoietic agents, a cornerstone of management, are a major component of the cost of renal replacement therapy. The objectives of this study were to compare (on a month-by-month basis) U.S. hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients in terms of the proportion of patients receiving erythropoietin, erythropoietin doses, and hemoglobin levels after initiation of erythropoietin. Patients studied (hemodialysis, n = 121,970; peritoneal dialysis, n = 7129) began dialysis between 1995 and 2000, had Medicare as their primary payer, were 65 yr old or older at dialysis inception, had no erythropoietin claims before dialysis inception, and did not have a switch in dialysis modality in the first 6 mo of dialysis therapy. Total monthly erythropoietin doses and average monthly hemoglobin levels were calculated from Medicare claims. The proportion of patients who received erythropoietin plateaued at 3 mo in both groups: 25% in peritoneal dialysis patients and 80% in hemodialysis patients. However, monthly erythropoietin doses plateaued at 30,000 units in peritoneal dialysis patients and 60,000 units in hemodialysis patients, a disparity not explicable by differences in baseline characteristics. Among subjects who received erythropoietin, mean hemoglobin levels were similar at steady state in both populations and met the National Kidney Foundation Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative hemoglobin target level of 11 to 12 g/dl. Hemoglobin levels in U.S. hemodialysis and peritoneal populations are similar. However, erythropoietin doses are dramatically higher in hemodialysis patients.  相似文献

目的观察重组人促红细胞生成素(rHuEPO)治疗慢性。肾衰竭患者贫血的疗效。方法选择我院慢性肾衰竭患者42例,分为2组,其中慢性肾衰竭维持性血液透析患者21例为血液透析组(HD组),慢性肾衰竭维持性腹膜透析患者21例为腹膜透析组(PD组)。所有慢性肾衰竭患者分别于入组后的第1天、3个月、6个月测定血红蛋白(Hb)、红细胞计数(RBC)、血细胞比容(Hct)、网织红细胞计数(Ret)、全段甲状旁腺素(iPTH)和促红细胞生成素(EPO)水平。结果①治疗前,2组间Hb、RBC、Hct、Ret、iPTH和EPO无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。②治疗后第3个月,HD组Hb、Hct低于PD组(P〈0.05),iPTH高于PD组(P〈0.05)。③治疗后第6个月,HD组Hb、Hct、iPTH与PD组相比无显著性差异(P〉0.05)。④相关分析表明,慢性肾衰竭患者Hb与iPTH呈负相关(r=-0.81,P〈0.05),与RBC、Hct和Ret呈正相关(r分别为0.79、0.91、0.59,P〈0.05),与EPO水平无相关性(P〉0.05)。结论慢性肾衰竭患者的贫血程度与甲状旁腺功能有关。rHuEPO治疗早期,腹膜透析较血液透析更容易改善患者的贫血状况,可能与前者较好的清除血iPTH有关,但随着治疗时间的延长,腹膜透析此方面的优势不再明显。  相似文献

The use of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) has greatly facilitated the treatment of anemia in children with chronic renal failure, but is expensive. Several reports on adult patients have shown that supplementation with l-carnitine can decrease the requirement for rhEPO. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of oral supplementation with l-carnitine on the rhEPO requirement in children on dialysis. We investigated 16 children on dialysis (11 hemodialysis, 5 peritoneal dialysis) with a median age of 10.2 years. All children were stable on rhEPO treatment at least 3 months before study entrance. After obtaining baseline data, all children were supplemented with l-carnitine 20 mg/kg/day. Data were collected for 26 weeks. Follow-up was completed for 12 patients (8 hemodialysis, 4 peritoneal dialysis). At baseline free carnitine (32±18 μmol/l) and total carnitine levels (54±37 μmol/l) were normal. At the end of the study free carnitine levels had increased to 97±56 μmol/l (P<0.05) and total carnitine levels to 163±90 μmol/l (P<0.05). There was no significant change in rhEPO requirement. Hemoglobin level or hematocrit did not change significantly during the study. In conclusion we could not demonstrate a beneficial effect of supplementation with l-carnitine on rhEPO requirement in children on dialysis.

The aim of the study was to collect retrospective data on renal anemia management, comorbidities and prospective data on 12-month standard care erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) therapy used in 398 hemodialyzed patients in selected Central and Eastern European countries (50 centers in 3 countries). Patients were divided into three groups according to ESA therapy start: group A-ESA (after start of hemodialysis, HD), B-ESA (within 3 months from start of HD), C-ESA (more than 3 months before HD). At the chronic kidney disease diagnosis, hemoglobin in all patients was 10.3 ± 2.3 g/dl; however, ferritin, iron, TSAT were within reference limits. Early ESA therapy (C) was administered to 10% of patients only. 47% of patients received ESA after start of dialysis. Before study, the mean weekly ESA dose in group C was statistically lower than in groups B and A (p < 0.001). At baseline visit, hemoglobin in group A patients was slightly lower than in group B and C patients (p = 0.025). In conclusion, in Central and Eastern European countries renal anemia therapy with ESA starts shortly before or after start of HD. This highlights important differences in standard care in Eastern Europe. However, paradoxically, due to the tight reimbursement policy we foresee the clinical implications of the TREAT trial for the chronic kidney disease population.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis have an increased risk of acquiring hepatitis B infection. Only 43-66% of dialysis patients develop effective anti-HBs titers after vaccination. AIM: To evaluate the effect of recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) therapy and basal hemoglobin levels on the outcome of the immune response to four doses of IM 40 microg Engerix-B vaccination in hemodialysis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients before starting replacement therapy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: One hundred and three patients were included in the study: 34 hemodialysis patients treated with rEPO (Group A), 36 predialytic patients who did not treated with rEPO (Group B) and 33 predialytic patients treated with rEPO (Group C). Plasma creatinine in predialytic patients was 2-7 mg/dL. All patients' HBsAg and anti-HBs antibodies were negative. Patients were immunized with IM 40 microg Engerix-B at 0, 1, 3, and 6 months. Anti-HBs titers were measured at 7th month. RESULTS: Eighty seven point one percent of patients from group C developed protective anti-HBs titers compared with 69.4% from group B and 44.1% from group A (p = 0.001). Patients from all groups with baseline hemoglobin levels above 11 gr/dL developed protective anti-HBs titers significantly more than patients with baseline hemoglobin levels below 11 gr/dL (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Predialytic patients treated with rEPO and with hemoglobin levels higher than 11 gr/dL had significantly better immune response outcomes to Engerix-B vaccination. Immunization against hepatitis B infection should be considered at early stages of CKD prior to the deterioration in kidney functions and the development of renal anemia.  相似文献

AIMS: Recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) is widely used to correct renal anemia in uremic patients. Interestingly, some chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients can maintain high hemoglobin level without the need of r-HuEPO. The aim of this study is to investigate clinical features, iron metabolism and erythropoiesis of these r-HuEPO-independent HD patients. METHODS: r-HuEPO independence was defined in dialysis patients as hemoglobin greater than 12 g/dl and no use of r-HuEPO for at least 6 months. An age- and sex-matched group was selected for comparison. Their underlying diseases, duration of hemodialysis therapy, efficacy of dialysis (Kt/V), normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR) and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Laboratory data including: hemoglobin, albumin, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation, ferritin, intact parathyroid hormone, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum EPO, cortisol, testosterone, aluminum and leptin levels were measured. Renal sonography was also performed in each patient to evaluate renal cyst formation. RESULTS: About 2.3% of all HD patients (21/888; M : F = 18 : 3) were r-HuEPO-independent. These patients had significantly longer HD duration and higher serum EPO and sTfR levels, and lower transferrin saturation rate than dependent groups. Correlation analysis revealed that hemoglobin level strongly correlated with HD duration, serum sTfR and EPO levels. Levels of sTfR were positively related with serum EPO levels and BMI. Multivariate regression analysis showed that level of sTfR was the only independent factor related to r-HuEPO independence. CONCLUSION: R-HuEPO independence is rare among chronic hemodialysis patients. Factors contributing to this dependence are complex and multiple. Level of serum sTfR parallels erythropoiesis and is the most significant factor associated with r-HuEPO independence in chronic HD patients.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of baseline characteristics of patients, chronic renal failure and its treatment on quality of life. METHODS: To investigate the health status we used a questionnaire, the SF-36, during individual interviews. The study involved i) a cross-sectional observational stage, lasting from 1 Sept. 1997 to 30 April 1999, on all the patients undergoing conservative treatment, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation in district of Ravenna, and ii) a longitudinal stage, when the subjects were administered two questionnaires at an interval of at least 16 months. The quality of life data collected during the cross-sectional stage were analyzed to establish any correlations between age, type of treatment of chronic renal failure and hemoglobin levels. Patients under dialysis were also examined for any interference caused by the center where dialysis was done. RESULTS: Multivariate analysis on the data collected during the cross-sectional stage showed that chronic renal failure treatment and age affected the quality of life scores for the following parameters: physical activity, bodily pain, general health and vitality (age was inversely related to the scores). Transplanted patients and those on conservative treatment enjoyed the best overall quality of life, followed by those on peritoneal dialysis and those on hemodialysis. The physical domain scores were strongly associated with age, hemoglobin and diabetes. Multivariate analysis of the longitudinal study indicated that the interval between the beginning and the end of the observation period, age and diabetes greatly influenced quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: The data confirmed that age and diabetes have a strong influence on the quality of life and that the long period of treatment, with the absence of any prospect of resolving the clinical situation, has a negative effect on the quality of life in uremic patients.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have significant impairments in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). In part, this is due to the intrusiveness of the treatment (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) that is required. It is unclear whether hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis is associated with a higher HRQOL. METHODS: 192 prevalent patients who self-selected treatment with hemodialysis (either in-center, satellite or home/self-care hemodialysis) or peritoneal dialysis were studied to determine whether treatment with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis is associated with a higher HRQOL. Demographic, laboratory and clinical information (including the presence of comorbid conditions using the Charlson comorbidity index) was assessed at baseline. The outcome of interest was HRQOL, which was measured using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form (KDQOL-SF), the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) and the EuroQol EQ-5D at baseline and after 6 and 12 months of follow-up. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in HRQOL scores for the SF-36, the EQ-5D and for 9 of 11 KDQOL dimensions for patients treated with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis at baseline. As expected, HRQOL was significantly lower for patients who had more comorbid disease, required assistance with their daily care, and for patients with less than a grade 12 education. After controlling for the effect of other important variables, HRQOL (as measured by the EQ-5D visual analog or index scores) did not differ between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. HRQOL was stable over time, both for patients who started on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. CONCLUSIONS: There is no significant difference in HRQOL for prevalent ESRD patients treated with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. It will be important to determine if this finding holds true for incident patients treated with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.  相似文献
