The effect of administration of human recombinant erythropoietin on leukocytic cells has been evaluated. In humans the administration of 20,000 U i.v. of rHuEPO caused a rapid and transitory leukopenia that seemed to be caused by a preferential reduction of lymphocytes (2715 +/- 513 mm3 t 0; 1898 +/- 506 t 60', p < 0.002). Pretreatment with imidazole-2-hydroxybenzoate, a drug capable of inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, caused a less marked and later reduction of lymphocytes (2242 +/- 477 t 0; 1560 +/- 318 t 180 minutes, p < 0.001). A less marked and later lymphocytopenia was also shown in subjects affected by chronic renal insufficiency (2907 +/- 726 t 0; 1944 +/- 512 t 180 minutes, p < 0.005).
