Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of candesartan for erythropoietin on nephrotic anemia in maintenance hemodialysis patients(MHD). Methods Forty patients with MHD were randomly divided into two groups:treatment group( n =20)and control group( n =20).Patients in the treatment group were daily given candesartan combined with erythropoietin while patients in the control group were given erythropoietin only.C-reactive protein(CRP),interlukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)and haematoglobin(Hb)were assayed before treatment and after six months of treatment. Results After 6 months of treatment,the level of serum CRP,IL-6 and TNF-αdecreased significantly in the treatment group(P <0.05),while Hb and Hct in the treatment group increased remarkably( P <0.05).However, there were no significant changes in the control group before and after treatment.There was significant difference between the combined treatment group and the control group( P <0.05). Conclusions Candesartan combined with erythropoietin improves symptoms of nephrotic anemia,the mechanism of which may be the relief of the microinflammatory reaction in MHD patients.
