Fifteen severely anaemic patients receiving CAPD were treated with subcutaneous recombinant human erythropoietin (Epo). Ten subjects had a good response with the haemoglobin concentration increasing from less than 8 g/dl to greater than 10 g/dl within 16 weeks. Four patients had a poor response, which was due to infection in two, myelofibrosis in one and unknown cause in another. Epo was ineffective in the remaining individual, probably due to the presence of occult metastatic carcinoma. Iron supplementation in the form of intravenous iron dextran was given to 12 patients when transferrin saturation decreased below 20%. There was a significant increase in red cell volume (P less than 0.005), with a decrease in plasma volume (P less than 0.005). Red cell iron turnover increased (P less than 0.05) but there was no change in red cell lifespan or deformability. Biochemical parameters remained unaltered, as did peritoneal function. Exercise duration improved (P less than 0.001), as did maximal oxygen consumption (P less than 0.01). Four patients required an increased dose of hypotensive drugs. Epo is a safe effective therapy for the anaemia of CAPD subjects.
