Abstract
In order to understand the effect of CAPD on the anemia of chronic renal failure, we studied the behaviour of some hematological parameters and of the colony-formation capacity of bone marrow cells in in vitro cultures in patients undergoing this therapy. Our studies showed a rise in hematocrit, hemoglobin and reticulocyte values, which showed a significant correlation with a recovery of the erythroid cell proliferative activity. Since serum erythropoietin levels do not change, the improvement of bone-marrow function appears to be due to a better clearance (by CAPD) of substances, which inhibit the response of bone marrow to the erythropoietin.Keywords
