Paricalcitol Improves Anemia of Inflammation
关键词
抽象
描述
Anemia of inflammation and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) are two common clinical complications in patients with chronic kidney disease. Eryptosis (accelerated red blood cell death) is a novel mechanism associated with renal anemia and several factors such us iron, erythropoietin and klotho (anti-aging hormone) deficiency have been associated with this process.
The use of the paricalcitol may inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines expression, especially interleukine-6, which is one of the most important cytokine associated with the pathogenesis of the AI. If the use of the paricalcitol for the SHPT control may exert direct influence on the erythropoiesis process is not known.
