1 The most predictive model of EPO response for the pediatric cohort had, as the major variables, urea clearance x dialysis duration/total body water (Kt/V), urea reduction ratio (URR), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), blood loss, normalized protein catabolic rates (nPCR) and indices of malnutrition and inflammation, whereas adults had iron and folate deficiencies as the dominant variables. Folic Acid erythropoietin Homo sapiens
2 In summary EPO resistance in the pediatric dialysis cohort was predicted by nutritional deficits, inflammation, poor dialysis, and hyperparathyroidism, while iron and folate deficits were the major determinants in adults. Folic Acid erythropoietin Homo sapiens
