1 OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of erythropoietin treatment during long-term 15 months study on serum vitamin A levels and its protein carriers, prealbumin and retinol-binding protein, on erythrocyte vitamin B1, B2 and B6 and folic acid and on serum or plasma vitamins B12, C and E levels in hemodialyzed patients. Folic Acid erythropoietin Homo sapiens
2 Erythrocyte vitamin B6 and folic acid significantly decreased due to erythropoietin treatment. Folic Acid erythropoietin Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: Supplementations of pyridoxine in the dose of 20 mg/day and of folic acid 5 mg/week in hemodialyzed patients during erythropoietin treatment are necessary. Folic Acid erythropoietin Homo sapiens
