The two pathoge netic components discussed in renal anemia are an aplastic disorder of the bone marrow, related with an erythropoietine deficiency, and a shortened erythrocyte survival of hitherto unknown reason [1,4,6, 8, 15,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][38][39][40],In patients with terminal renal insuffi ciency, erythrocyte survival was reduced to 30-60% of the normal value [12, 13].
