摘要: Cancer-related anaemia has a number of causes, not least the underlying malignancy itself which plays role in suppressing erythropoiesis. Anaemia is often exacerbated by cancer treatments, particular routinely used cytotoxic chemotherapy. Chronic characterized inappropriately low levels endogenous erythropoietin for degree anaemia, and manifests clinically with generalized hypoxia resultant severe fatigue. Epoetin alfa one recombinant form erythropoietin, primary human growth factor responsible promoting proliferation survival erythroid progenitor cells. been widely studied treatment associated renal failure now recognized as having significant potential management cancer-related anaemia. Studies suggest that epoetin an effective proportion patients symptomatic It also appears useful prevention chemotherapy-induced different settings have shown significantly increases haemoglobin haematocrit, reduces transfusion requirements improves quality life patient.
