Many people with kidney disease need iron supplements and EPO to raise their red blood cell count to a level that will reduce the need for red blood cell transfusions. The NKUDIC answers inquiries, develops and distributes publications, and works closely with professional and patient organizations and Government agencies to coordinate resources about kidney and urologic diseases
The primary cellular components are lymphocytes and macrophages, and the primary molecular components are antibodies and lymphokines; granulocytes and complement system are also involved in immune responses, although they are not always considered as part of the immune system per se.

While marrow iron staining continues to play a critical role in validating newer laboratory measurements of iron status when performed and reviewed under standardized conditions in prospective studies by experienced investigators, bone marrow examinations should seldom be performed solely to diagnose iron deficiency because of the expense, discomfort, and technical pitfalls with this approach. To date, 4 of 8 patients who were refractory to treatment with horse ATG have responded to alemtuzumab, and toxicity has been modest (P.S., unpublished data, January 2006); we are now testing alemtuzumab in a randomized comparison with both horse and rabbit ATG in severe aplastic anemia at presentation
