Endogenous erythropoietin and the association with inflammation and mortality in diabetic chronic kidney disease.
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 6(7):1573-9 (2011) PMID 21734083
Anemia and inflammation are prevalent in diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The role of endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) in the pathophysiology of anemia in chronic diseases and its relationship to clinical outcomes remain uncertain. In this cohort study, we aimed to identify factors associated with endogenous EPO levels and investigate their relation to all-cause mortality.
