  The haematopoietic effect of recombinant human erythropoietin in haemodialysis is independent of the mode of administration ( i.v. or s.c. )


"No changes in rHuEpo dose were observed after cinversion from s.c. to i.v. There were no significant differences between the conversion and non-conversion group. These results are in contrast to some earlier studies suggesting lower rHuEpo requirements in case of s.c. administration."
