Background and objectives: The effects of different hemoglobin targets when using erythropoiesis-stimulating agents on quality of life are somewhat controversial, and predictors of change in quality o
Treatment for anemia has come a long way in the last 20 years since the first recombinant human erythropoietins were licensed for the management of anemia in chronic kidney disease.The first-generatio
Epoetin alfa and beta are the two forms of recombinant DNA-derived erythropoietin (rEPO), both synthesized in Chinese hamster ovary cells, which are used for the treatment of erythropoietin (EPO)-resp
In May 2009 for financial reasons, the epoetin product used for hemoglobin (Hb) maintenance in our renal dialysis unit was changed from epoetin beta to epoetin alfa.Although widely believed that the d
Patients may complain of pain at the injection site after subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of erythropoietin (EPO).Local pain due to s.c.EPO into the thigh was evaluated in 60 hemodialysis patients
Background.Anaemia in haemodialysis patients can be effectively treated with erythropoietin.We investigated whether subcutaneous (SC) epoetin β administered once weekly was as effective as the same we
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 20 million Americans, and an additional 20 million are at increased risk for developing CKD.Anemia is a common complication in patients with CKD.The predominant ca
This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic/pharrnacodynamic (PK/PD) model for C.E.R.A., a continuous erythropoietin receptor activator.C.E.R.A.is administered via intravenous (Ⅳ) and sub

目的：研究强脉冲光结合地塞米松与曲安缩松混合液治疗瘢痕增生与单一药物治疗瘢痕增生的疗效性、安全性的观察。方法：先运用强脉冲光(540nm)封闭毛细血管对瘢痕实体的血供，半月后再用地塞米松与曲安缩松混合液注射，然后交替治疗3-5次，对治疗后疗效评定。结果：强脉冲光后封闭毛细血管对瘢痕实体的血供，瘢痕体无出现色素沉着或色素脱失现象，无其他不良反应。地塞米松与曲安缩松混合液注射疗效明显高于单一的药物注射
