【 摘 要 】

References(11)Cited-By(4)Erythropoietin (EPO) levels in plasma from 124 clinically anemic dogs were determined by in vivo bioassay. In 81 anemic dogs with normal renal function, the concentration of plasma EPO showed a close correlation with the hemoglobin concentration. The plasma EPO level was obviously decreased in 43 anemic dogs with renal failure. Of these dogs with renal failure, 17 showed no detectable plasma EPO and resulted in the death of these dogs. In the remaining 26 dogs having detectable plasma EPO, the plasma concentration rate of EPO related to blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine values.
