| Abstract | ||
| In this study we examine the effect of the serum calcium level (in mmol/dl) on the rHuEPO ) EPREX) in 100 patients of different age group (20-65 years mean 42.5)of both sexes (35 female and 65 male) in haemodialysis program .We examine the responsiveness of anaemic CRF patients in HD program to the rHuEPO by the level of the PCV and compare the differences in the results according to the changes of the level of the serum calcium which may be fluctuated from patients to patients according to the different causes and from our result we can conclude that: the serum calcium level which examine in all patients in the study has a direct effect on erythropoietin treatment to anaemic HD CRF patients (p<0.05) and for this reason the calcium play a vital role in the anaemia management in this group of patients. | ||
