Abstract
The\ 24 \– hour\ urinary\ excretion\ of\ erythropoietin\ was\ biologically\ assayed\ in\ the\ 33\ anemic\ patients\ and\ the\ 8\ patients\ with\ protein \– energy\ malnutrition\ from\ Chiang\ Mai\ Hospital,\ Chiang\ Mai\ university,\ Thailand. The\ erythropoietic\ activity\ in\ the\ patients\’\ urine\ was\ measured\ by\ radiobiological\ technique\ in\ starved\ rats,\ comparing\ with\ that\ of\ the\ 18 healthy\ subjects\ living\ in\ the\ same\ area.\ This\ investigation\ indicates\ that\ \ the\ urinary\ erythropoietin\ level\ in\ patients\ with all\ types\ of\ animas\ is\ approximately\ 62\ per\ cent\ higher\ than\ in\ the\ malnourished\ patients.\ The\ average\ urinary\ erythropoietic\ activity\ of\ anemic\ patients\ is\ 297 .11 \ 46.95\ Co\ Units\ per\ 24 \– hour\ Urine,\ While\ that\ of\ the\ patients\ with\ protein \– energy\ malnutrition\ is\ only\ 187 .66\ \ 16.15\ Co\ Units\ per\ 24 \– hour\ Urine.\ In\ the\ case\ of\ anemic\ patients,\ the\ urinary\ erythropoietin level\ in\ patients,\ the\ \ urinary\ erythropietin\ level\ in\ aplastic\ anemia\ is\ the\ highest\ among\ the\ group,\ in\ which\ the\ average\ activity\ is\ equal\ to\ 725.94 88.31\ Co\ Units\ per\ 24 hour\ Urine.\
