  • Title: [Recombinant human erythropoietin in the treatment of the anemia of multiple myeloma with kidney failure].
    Author: Arenas Gracia M, Abad Gosálvez A, Colomina Avilés J, Pascual Pérez R, Ferriz Moreno P.
    Journal: An Med Interna; 1995 Apr; 12(4):187-8. PubMed ID: 7620064.
    Abstract:
    A patient with advanced multiple myeloma (MM) and renal failure presented a severe chronic anemia requiring frequent blood transfusions. Treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) led to a rapid improvement of anemia, and further blood transfusions were not required. Pathophysiological studies about the erythropoiesis in patients with MM and trials with rHuEPO in myeloma-associated anemia are commented.
