“…Inadequate endogenous erythropoietin concentrations have RHuEPO enhances endogenous erythropoiesis, and is accepted by most Jehovah's Witnesses. Optimal dose and dosing regimen of RHuEPO remains unclear, especially when treating critically ill patients with life-threatening acute blood loss and those with severe acute anaemia who refuse transfusion 10 .…”

“…Only a few patients are reported to have survived Hb levels <4 g dl À1 without transfusion. Most published cases [1][2][3][4] refer to the treatment of Jehovah's Witnesses refusing transfusion and surviving extreme low Hb.

“…Etliche Fallberichte beschreiben eine erfolgreiche Therapie extrem niedriger Hb-Werte bei jungen (maximales Alter 44 Jahre), kardiovaskulär gesunden ZJ, einige davon aus Europa [4,21,22], die meisten aus den USA [5,7,10,20,23,24,28]. Sowohl akute postpartale [21,23,24], postoperative [7,22,28] oder posttraumatische Anämien [20] als auch langsame Hb-Abfälle bei hämolytischer Anämie [10] oder Chemotherapie bei Leukämien [4,5] wurden überlebt. Die niedrigsten dokumentierten Hb-Werte reichen von 3,9 bis 1,3 mg/dl [4] sowie in einem Fall "nicht mehr messbar" bei einem Hämatokrit von 3 % [23].…”
