| Research Abstract |
To prevent adverse effects of homologous blood transfusion (HBT), we administered recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) to the patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery couples with or without autologous blood donation (ABD). We also measured the endogenous EPO in these patients.
1) The EPO level in cancer patients tested was found relatively lower than that in patients with iron deficiency anemia.
2) Daily administration of recombinant EPO (3,000-6000 IU) for 7 days prior operation raised Hb consentration in patients by approximately 1.0 g/dl.
3) Autologous blood deposit (400-600 ml) coupled with adoministration of EPO (3000 IU) also raised Hb concentration increment by 0.8 g/dl, which was essentially same with that of EPO adoministration alone. However, since autologous blood deposit induces medical staffs not to perform HBT and administration of EPO substantially raises Hb concentration, autologous blood donation together with administration of recombinant EPO promises reduction and thereby prevention of adverse effects of HBT.
