Erythropoiesis in the @entity417 of XXXX : the response to CAPD.

@entity1 @entity417 @entity1307 @entity177 @entity68
Fifteen @entity1 with @entity177 commencing CAPD treatment were studied by a sensitive ferrokinetic technique. All were severely anaemic with a low red cell volume (RCV). Plasma volume (PV) was raised in twelve. Mean red cell lifespan (MRCL) was reduced in eleven subjects, and marrow @entity68 turnover (MIT) was inappropriately low but this was not related to @entity1307 levels. Six @entity1 were restudied after several months CAPD. PV fell in four and RCV increased in all six. MRCL rose to normal in three. The other three subjects has an increase in MIT. @entity1307 levels did not change significantly. The major cause of @entity417 is a failure of erythropoiesis to match fully the demands of red cell destruction.
