produce cellular energy, called adenosine triphosphate, to stabilize and maintain metabolic homeostasis in the body. In mammalian species, the erythrocytes component is heavily occupied by hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has a high binding affinity to oxygen, and this metalloprotein can carry four oxygen molecules...
It is reported that if PFHb levels rise above a certain hemolysis range (Mild), the risk of acute renal failure and thrombus formation increases. Therefore, we have shown high accuracy results in this mild hemolysis range of (15–60) mg/dL, which requires additional attention when monitoring...
Sir, The frequent association between good Ht values and high predialysis sCr levels was observed in the chronically hemodialyzed patients of our Unit An attempt to directly correlate predialysis sCr to Ht values failed, probably because of the variable Cr generation rates in the individual subjects...
The second trial and the trial where rusfertide was evaluated in a patient population that had not yet reached a hematocrit of 45, meaning had not received sufficient therapy to be well controlled with a high amount of hematocrit below 45%.The study evaluated the acute use of r...
