[Anemia in chronic hemodialysis]

W Helbig, H Achenbach, J Löbe

    Folia Haematologica (Leipzig, Germany : 1928)
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Anemia in chronic hemodialysis patients is primarily due to iron deficiency and moderate hemolysis, not just low erythropoietin. Iron and folic acid supplementation effectively reduces transfusion needs in these patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Hematology

    Context:

    • Anemia is a common complication in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis.
    • Renal anemia is often complicated by factors related to the dialysis procedure itself.

    Purpose:

    • To characterize the specific causes of anemia in chronic hemodialysis patients.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of iron and folic acid supplementation in managing this anemia.

    Summary:

    • Hematological, clinicochemical, cytomorphological, cytochemical, and nuclearmedical investigations reveal that anemia in chronic hemodialysis is a modified renal anemia.
    • Key contributing factors include significant iron deficiency, moderate hemolysis, and mild folic acid deficiency, with erythropoietin deficiency being less prominent.
    • Parenteral iron substitution (80-120 mg weekly) and daily folic acid (10-15 mg) are effective therapeutic strategies.

    Impact:

    • Successful management with iron and folic acid can significantly reduce the requirement for blood transfusions.
    • This approach optimizes the treatment of anemia in chronic hemodialysis patients, improving their quality of life.
