Abstract:
Objective To observe clinical efficacy of recombinant human erythropoietin(rhu-EPO)in sepsis with anemia.Method From June 2005 to December 2006,sixty sepsis with anemia patients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin Medical University were divided into control group(n=30)and theatment with rhu-EPO group(n=30).The exclusion criteria was:renal imufficiency patients needing blood purification,patients with hemorrhage of digestive tract,and patients who used rhu-EPO before.Patients in the rhu-EPO group were hypodermically injected with rhu-EPO at 48 hours after admission,6000 units par time,and continued every other day for two weeks.When the hemoglobin Was lower than 80 g/L,patients received red blood cell(RBC)transfusion or received other treatment decided by doctor.The data were expressed as(x±s),and were analyzed using Student's t test and Fisher's exact test with SPSS 11.5.A P valLie less than 0.05 indicated statistical significance.Results There Was no significant difference on hemoglobin between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05).After treatment,the hemoglobin of patients in rhu-EPO group was higher than that in control group [(105.87±11.48)g/L vs.(91.23 ±19.89)g/L,P<0.01].The units of RBC transfusions was less in patients of rhu-EPO group compared with control group[(2.0 ±0.47)U vs.(2.63±0.43)U,P<0.01].There was no significant difference on mortality between two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions In sepsis with anemia patients,administration of rhu-EPO every other day can increase red blood cell level and reduce RBC transfusion.
