Abstract

Background: ANEMIA is a common complication accompanied by high morbidity and mortality in HEMODIALYSIS patients. Considering the fact that the reduction of ERYTHROPOIETIN (EPO) synthesis is the main cause of uremic ANEMIA, receiving recombinant human ERYTHROPOIETIN (rHuEPO) can improve the condition in these patients. Some of these HEMODIALYSIS patients, however, have acceptable hemoglobin levels without any need to EPO. Higher BMI, higher albumin and LEPTIN plasma levels and longer durations of HEMODIALYSIS are possible factors contributing to the reduced need for rHuEPO in these patients. The present study is designed to asses the relationship between the plasma levels of LEPTIN and the reduced EPO need. Methods: Fifty eligible HEMODIALYSIS patients with hemoglobin levels higher than 11 mg/dl were enrolled in the cross-sectional study. The information on age, sex, HEMODIALYSIS duration and the cause of renal dysfunction were extracted from the files. The baseline plasma levels of LEPTIN and albumin were measured. The patients BMI and the weekly need for rHuEPO were also calculated.Results: There was no correlation between the weekly need for rHuEPO and sex, BMI, the cause of renal dysfunction and the plasma levels of albumin and LEPTIN; it, however, was related with age and the duration of dialysis. While age negatively influences the weekly need, the duration of dialysis has a positive effect on the need. Conclusion: The plasma levels of LEPTIN are not directly correlated with the required amounts of rHuEPO, indicating that LEPTIN is not an effective factor in erythropoiesis. Conversely, older age and shorter HEMODIALYSIS durations are accompanied by reduced need for rHuEPO.
