EFFECTS OF ERYTHROPOIETIN, ANGIOTENSIN II, AND ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITOR ON ERYTHROID PRECURSORS IN PATIENTS WITH POSTTRANSPLANTATION ERYTHROCYTOSIS

Abstract

Our data suggest that PTE is associated with increased erythroid progenitor sensitivity to Ep. The effect of ACEI to decrease hematocrit in patients with PTE may be due to inhibition of red cell precursor growth.
