  • Background: High doses of human recombinant erythropoietin (rHuEPO) to achieve hemoglobin levels above 13 g/dL in chronic kidney disease appear associated with elevated mortality. Study Design: We conducted logistic regression and survival analyses in a retrospective cohort of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients to examine the hypothesis that the induced iron depletion with resultant relative thrombocytosis may be a possible contributor to the link between the high rHuEPO dose associated hemoglobin ?13 g/dL and mortality. Setting & Participants: The national database of a large dialysis organization (DaVita) with 40,787 MHD patients during July to December 2001 and their survival up to July 2004 were examined. Predictors: Hemoglobin level, platelet count and administered rHuEPO dose during each calendar quarter. Outcomes & other Measurements: Case-mix adjusted 3-year all-cause mortality; and measures of iron stores including serum ferritin and iron saturation ratio (ISAT). Results: Higher platelet count was associated with lower iron stores and higher prescribed rHuEPO dose. Compared to hemoglobin of 12-13 g/dL, hemoglobin ?13 g/dL was associated with increased mortality in the presence of relative thrombocytosis, i.e., platelet count ?300,000/?l, (case-mix adjusted death-rate ratio [RR]: 1.21, 95% confidence limits [CL]: 1.02?1.44, P=0.03) as opposed to the absence of relative thrombocytosis (RR: 1.04, 95% CL: 0.98?1.08, P=0.13). Prescribed rHuEPO dose >20,000 units/week was associated with higher likelihood of iron depletion (ISAT<20%) and relative thrombocytosis (case-mix adjusted odds ratio: 2.53 [CL: 2.37?2.69] and 1.36 [CL: 1.30?1.42], respectively, p<0.001) and increased mortality over 3 years (death-rate ratio of 1.59, CL: 1.54, 1.65, p<0.001). Limitations: Our results may incorporate uncontrolled confounding. Achieved hemoglobin may have different mortality-predictability than targeted hemoglobin. Conclusions: Iron depletion and associated relative thrombocytosis might contribute to increased mortality when administering high rHuEPO doses to achieve hemoglobin ?13 g/dL in MHD patients. Randomized trials are needed to test these observational associations.
