Abstract

To examine the role of renal excretory function for erythropoietin (EPO) formation we have determined the kinetics of plasma immunoreactive EPO (irEPO) in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing renal allotransplantation (RTX). In 13 patients with immediate excretory graft function (imGF) and stable haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations (median Hb 9.5 g dl-1 and median irEPO 18 mU ml-1 before ...
