    Abstract:
    The introduction of recombinant human erythropoietin (RHuEPO) has dramatically changed the therapeutic approach to the anemia of chronic renal failure. Clinical studies have also demonstrated that RHuEPO is effectiveness in various non-uremic conditions, such as anemia associated with onco-hematological disorders, prematurity, HIV infection and to reduce the exposure to allogeneic blood in surgical patients. In this review, we briefly analyze the main clinical applications of RHuEPO, with particular attention to the potential complications deriving from its use.
