Recombinant human erythropoietin treatment protects the cardio-renal axis in a model of moderate chronic renal failure

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients develop anemia because of the low kidney erythropoietin (EPO) production, thus promoting cardiovascular complications. The degree of renal insufficiency might determine the moment to start recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) therapy, but the molecular basis...
