The aim of our study was to compare hemorheological consequences of hemotransfusion and recombinant human erythropoetin treatment in anemic cancer patients. Forty anemic patients with solid nonmyeloid malignancies were enrolled in this prospective, open-label study. Both prior to and following treatment (epoetin beta, 10,000 units subcutaneously thrice weekly, for four weeks and transfusion of 400 ml of erythrocyte mass) hemorheological measurements including blood and plasma viscosity, hematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin, red blood cell aggregation (RBCA) and deformability were completed. It was found an increase of Hb from 76.07+/-3.68 g/l to 87.86+/-4.26 g/l after the transfusion. It was accompanied by Hct rise by 25% (from 23.67+/-1.85 to 29.50+/-1.96%, p<0.05). Under these conditions the whole blood viscosity (BV) was increased by 19% (p<0.05). Plasma viscosity did not change markedly. Therefore the main cause of the whole blood viscosity rise was an increase of Hct. After erythrocyte mass transfusion there were some increases of red cell deformability and aggregation (by 7%, p>0.05). Under these conditions the Hct/BV ratio as an index of oxygen transport efficiency was changed after transfusion only slightly. While after four weeks of epoetin treatment the hematocrit/viscosity ratio was raised by 14% (p<0.05), in spite of the high blood viscosity. In addition RBCA decreased (p<0.01) and their deformability was increased by 14% (p<0.05). In vitro microrheological data permit to suggest that epoetin has a direct effect on the microrheological properties of red cells due to activation of the cellular signal transduction system including the tyrosine kinases and phosphatases. Thus, Epoetin beta administered s.c. thrice weekly, during four weeks, increased hemoglobin levels, improved hemorheological profile and especially its microrheological part as well as the blood transport capacity in anemic cancer patients who were receiving chemotherapy and its hemorheological effect was more positive than under hemotransfusion. |
