Effect of Zinc Supplementation on Renal Anemia in 5/6-Nephrectomized Rats and a Comparison with Treatment with Recombinant Human Erythropoietin

Abstract: Anemia is a severe complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Treatment with exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) can correct anemia in many with CKD. We produced 5/6-nephrectomized rats that became uremic and anemic at 25 days post surgery. Injection of the anemic 5/6-nephrectomized rats with 2.8 mg zinc/kg body weight raised their red blood cell (RBC) levels from approximately 85% of the control to 95% in one day and continued for 4 days. We compared the effect of ZnSO4 and recombinant human eryth… Show more

“…Feng studied 5/6-nephrectomized rats that became uremic and anemic at 25 days post-surgery, and found Zn stimulated EPO production in the medium, and that the level of EPO produced depended on the concentration of Zn supplementation. Production of erythropoietin through Zn supplementation involves the process of erythropoiesis ( 68 ).…”

“…Konomi et al (2005) indicate that hematopoiesis is influenced by zinc level, where it has direct effect in the synthesis of EPO, as well as for the expansion of erythrocytic compartment (Huber & Cousins, 1993). In previous studies, zinc supplementation stimulate erythropoiesis (Feng et al, 2019) and red blood cell formation in the bone marrow in rats (Chen et al, 2018). In this study, the inclusion of pharmacological levels of zinc might increase the total percentage of hematocrits, and with this an increment in the concentration of hemoglobin.…”

“…Meanwhile, basic experimental studies con rmed that zinc supplementation is closely related to the mitigation of renal complications. The results revealed that zinc relieved anemia in 5/6-nephrectomized rats that became uremic and anemic as it induced erythropoiesis similar to rHuEPO [25]. Also, zinc supplementation strongly blunted vascular calci cation and aortic osteoinduction, and therefore, it might be capable of ameliorating cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by reducing the burden of vascular calci cation in CKD [26].…”
