Abstract

Purpose. Evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of the preparation erythropoietin а and the ease of administration of different dosages. Material and methods. The study consisted of two stages. In the beginning, a retrospective study was performed including data of 6О patients who received erythropoietin а in routine practice at the premises of the "Fespharm" Dialysis Center. The purpose of this study was to confirm the hypothesis of small doses of this drug to reach the target Hb level 1ОО-12О g/l. In the subsequent, a prospective study was conducted at the premises of the SBHCI City Clinical Hospital n.a. S.P. Botkin (ЗО patients) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of erythropoietin а for the treatment of renal anemia with doses of the drug, significantly less than the recommended instructions for the drug, and assessing the factors affecting the effectiveness of treatment. Conclusion. With the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA), the authors recommend to take into account the body weight of the patient more strictly, in addition to the absolute total weekly dose of the drug. At the same time, the increase in the ESA dose will be faster than the increase in the patient's body weight. The recommended average doses in the instructions to the drug should be determined taking into account the national characteristics of the population, using preparations with different dosage, be more cautious about the appointment of iron preparations, more focusing on transferrin saturation with iron.
