RESUMO
Hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic effects of recombinant erythropoietin (Epo) given to preterm infants are controversially discussed. Because renal loss of Epo was significantly higher after intravenous versus subcutaneous Epoetin-beta administration, we suggest a reconsideration of whether subcutaneous recombinant Epo is more efficient and safer because of lower peaks of circulating Epo.
