Abstract
We studied the expression features of Hepcidin (HEP), Erythropoietin (EPO), Albumin (ALB) and Prealbumin (PA), and the pathogenesis of anemia in tumor patients caused by radiotherapy. We tested the hemoglobin (HB) concentration in 446 cancer patients who received radiotherapy, and measured the serum HEP, EPO, ALB and PA n 92 cases to explore the pathogenesis of anemia caused by radiotherapy. The results were: (1) The HB level before and after radiotherapy in 446 patients were 119.85±19.87g/L and 116.32±24.25g/L (t=2.5211, P 0.05). (7) There were positive correlation between ALB and HB before and after radiotherapy (all P<0.01). (8) There were positive correlation between PA and HB before and after radiotherapy (all P<0.01). Therefore, Radiotherapy could cause anemia and deteriorate nutritional status in cancer patients. Anemia negatively feedback inhibited the expression of HEP, while EPO was highly compensatory.
