The purpose of our study was to investigate the relationships among serum erythropoietin, erythropoiesis, renal function, and drug therapy in patients undergoing renal transplantation. A preliminary report of this work has appeared elsewhere (1).Decreased erythropoiesis is a major factor in the anemia of chronic renal failure (2-6). Normally the kidney produces or activates the hormone erythropoietin which regulates the rate of erythropoiesis in response to stimuli such as hypoxia and anemia (7-10). However, there is increasing evidence that in...References1. ABBRECHTGREENE PHJA: Erythropoiesis after renal homotransplantation. J. Lab. Clin. Med. 66: 849, 1965. Google Scholar2.
