High-dose recombinant human erythropoietin and low-dose corticosteroids for treatment of anemia in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
Three patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and severe anemia were treated with high-dose recombinant human erythropoietin (rHEpo) and low-dose corticosteroids. During therapy their hemoglobin levels gradually improved and no blood transfusions were required. Neither rHEpo nor corticosteroids caused any side effects. This study shows that high rHEpo and low corticosteroid doses may improve the anemia of PNH patients.

The anemia of pregnancy in presence of beta-thalassemia intermedia usually aggravates pregnancy procedure. In the present study we investigated whether the administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) recombinant human erythropoietin in combination with iron and folic acid may ameliorate blood indices as an alternative choice to blood transfusion.
