Pure red cell aplasia and anti-erythropoietin antibodies in patients on hemodialysis: a report of two cases and a literature review

Abstract: PRCA is a rare condition among patients on dialysis treated with rhEPO and should be considered as a possible cause of refractory anemia. Treating patients with PRCA may be challenging, since the specific management and diagnostic procedures needed in this condition are not always readily available.

“…Aggregation present in rhEPO preparation were held responsible for the ADA effect. These ADAs, in severe cases, lead to clinically relevant autoimmunity known as pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) [72][73][74]. Three orthologous analysis procedures, viz., Western blot, dynamic light scattering and SEC-HPLC were applied for detecting any high molecular aggregates in our final products, and the results confirmed that GBPD002 did not contain any such macromolecular entity.…”

“…The mechanism of drug-induced PRCA is mostly unexplained in the medical literature but erythropoietin induced PRCA is well explained by autoimmunity or antibody-mediated mechanisms [2]. Five main factors determine the pathogenesis of erythropoietin mediated PRCA.…”

“…Rapid onset normochromic normocytic anaemia, low reticulocyte count and severe hypoplastic erythroid lineage with normal other cell lines in the bone marrow is the classical picture of PRCA [1]. Anaemia in a patient with chronic kidney disease could be due to several factors such as impaired production of erythropoietin, iron deficiency (functional/absolute), Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency, suboptimal dialysis or gastrointestinal blood loss [2]. The incidence of erythropoietin antibody-mediated PRCA is 0.02-0.03 per 10000 patient-years [3].…”

“…Selain pengunaan obat-obatan yang menginduksi terbentuknya antibodi dengan mekanisme yang belum jelas, pada beberapa penyakit juga dapat ditemukan antibodi anti-EPO seperti pada tymoma, rheumatoid artritis, systemic Lupus Erythematosus, dan Leukemia Limfositik Kronik (Lim, 2005). Pada kasus yang dilaporkan oleh Lacreta, terdapat 2 pasien di Brazil dengan PRCA dan salah satunya menderita penyakit ginjal polikistik.keduanya diberi terapi transfusi darah untuk mengatasi kondisi anemia dan diberi terapi imunosupresan (Lacreta et al, 2019). Dari penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Christie, penambahan partikel untuk pelarut rekombinan EPO dan pemberian EPO dalam jumlah yang besar dapat menginisiasi terbentuknya antibodi (Christie et al, 2015).…”
