Factors Contributing to Erythropoietin Hyporesponsiveness in Patients on Long-Term Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis: A Cross-Sectional Study

Factors Contributing to Erythropoietin Hyporesponsiveness in Patients on Long-Term Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Factors contributing to erythropoietin (EPO) hyporesponsiveness in patients on long-term continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis are not well understood. Therefore, we investigated the factors contributing to EPO hyporesponsiveness using the EPO resistance index (ERI). Methods: A total...
