| Description | Multiple myeloma is very frequently associated with anemia which has the character of hypoproliferative anemia of chronic diseases. In this type of anemia there is often insufficient production of endogenous erythropoietin. According to literature pharmacological doses of erythropoietin result in the increase of blood hemoglobin concentration. Erythropoietin (Eprex Cilag) was given to 11 patients whose hemoglobin concentration in blood was lower than 100 g/l. |
