Effects of erythropoietin on left ventricular hypertrophy in adults with severe chronic renal failure and hemoglobin <10 g/dL

LVH is a common finding in chronic renal insufficiency and is associated with lower hemoglobin levels. Treatment with rhEPO may decrease LVH in patients with severe renal insufficiency and anemia.
