The Effect of Different Doses of Vitamin C Treatment on Renal Anemia

Abstract

We have studied the effect of vitamin C therapy on renal anemia in 55 stable hemodialysis cases. The patients were divided into four groups. Three of the groups respectively received 100, 1000 and 2000 mg/day vitamin C therapy for 3 months. Vitamin C therapy was not applied to the control group. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), red cell counts and serum ferritin levels were measured before the treatment and at 1st, 2nd and 3rd months of the treatment in all patients. After three months, in groups that received 100 and 1000 mg/day vitamin C therapy, mean Hb, Hct and red cell counts did not change significantly compared to those in pretreatment and in control group. In the group who received 2000 mg/day vitamin C therapy showed significantly increased mean Hb, Hct and red cell counts compared to the pretreatment counts. No significant changes were determined when compared to the control group. In order to better assess the effect of vitamin C on these changes, therapy was ceased in the same group for three months. However, no significant decrease was observed at mean Hb, Hct and red cell counts compared to the counts at the end of the three-month therapy period of the same group. In serum ferritin levels of all three groups, no statistically significant changes were observed compared to those in pretreatment and in control group. As a result, we came to the conclusion that the different doses of vitamin C therapy did not affect renal anemia in hemodialysis patients.
