| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Anemia frequently occurs after kidney transplantation, its origin is multifactorial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of anemia among kidney transplantation patients at 3 months after transplantation and its relationship to inflammatory, oxidative, and nutritional states. Furthermore, we determined serum prohepcidin, a precursor of hepcidin, the main hormone implicated in iron metabolism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a transverse retrospective study in 130 patients who underwent kidney transplantation, including 89 men and 41 women. Patients were randomized according to the presence or absence of anemia at 3 months. The patients' inflammatory, oxidative, and nutritional states were evaluated as well as renal function and serum prohepcidin at 3 months. RESULTS: Twenty-four percent of the patients developed anemia at 3 months after transplantation. These patients presented with a greater inflammatory state, a poor nutritional status, and poor renal function. Serum prohepcidin was significantly lower compared with the transplantation patients who did not show anemia. CONCLUSIONS: Serum prohepcidin was significantly higher among kidney transplantation patients who did not develop anemia. The inflammatory state may be a determinant of the response to treatment with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in anemic kidney transplant recipients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
