Brief Description
Indication
Anemia associated with Chronic Renal Failure, including patients on dialysis (ESRD) and patients not on dialysis, Anemia in patients with non-myeloid malignancies where anemia is due to the effect of concomitantly administered chemotherapy, Anemic patients (hemoglobin > 10 to < 13 g/dL) scheduled to undergo elective, noncardiac, nonvascular surgery to reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions, Anemia related to therapy with zidovudine in HIV-infected patients.
Adult Dose
Chronic Kidney Disease-Associated Anemia Reduction of need for red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Patient not on dialysis: 50-100 units/kg IV/SC 3 times weekly initially Initiate only when (1) hemoglobin level 10 g/dL, reduce or interrupt dose and use lowest dose sufficient to reduce need for RBC transfusion Patient on dialysis: 50-100 units/kg IV 3 times weekly initially Initiate when hemoglobin level 2 months 150 units/kg IV/SC 3 times weekly initially; alternatively, 40,000 units SC once weekly until completion of chemotherapy course Preparation for Surgery With High Risk of Blood Loss Reduction of need...

Chronic Kidney Disease-Associated Anemia
1 month: 50 units/kg IV/SC 3 times weekly initially; if patient on dialysis, IV route recommended
Initiate when hemoglobin level <10 g/dL; if hemoglobin level approaches or exceeds 11 g/dL, reduce or interrupt dose
Prematurity-Related Anemia
25-100 units/kg SC 3 times weekly or 200-400 units/kg SC/IV q24-48hr for 2-6 weeks
Zidovudine-Related Anemia

8 months-17 years: 50-400 units/kg SC/IV 2-3 times weekly
Chemotherapy-Related Anemia
<5 years: Safety and efficacy not established
5-18 years: 600 units/kg IV once weekly; not to exceed 40,000 units
Contraindication
Uncontrolled hypertension, hypersensitivity to mammalian cell products and human albumin.
Mode of Action
Erythropoietin regulates erythropoiesis by stimulating the differentiation and proliferation of erythroid precursors, stimulating the release of reticulocytes into the circulation, and synthesis of cellular haemoglobin. Recombinant human erythropoietin is available as epoetin alfa and epoetin beta which are used in the management of anaemias associated with CRF, cancer chemotherapy and anti-AIDS drug zidovudine.
Precaution
Erythropoietin should be used with caution in those patients with controlled hypertension, ischaemic vascular disease, history of seizures, or suspected allergy to the product. Iron evaluation: Prior to and during Epoetin therapy, the patient's iron stores, including transferrin saturation and serum ferritin, should be evaluated. Transferrin saturation should be at least 20%, and ferritin should be at least 100 ng/mL. Virtually all patients will require supplemental iron to increase or maintain transferrin saturation to levels that will adequately support erythropoiesis.
Lactation: Unknown whether drug is excreted in breast milk; use with caution; avoid administering multidose vials
