| | This study was a randomized, double-blind trial of recombinant erythropoietin (epoietin) in treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease and anemia refractory to iron therapy. | | | In an article from the May 15, 1997 Annals of Internal Medicine (from one of the groups that authored this study), the use of intravenous iron with and without erythropoietin was examined in Crohn's Disease. | | | At 12 weeks, 82% of patients randomized to treatment had response to therapy (increase of Hgb by 1.0 g/dl), as compared with 24% in the placebo group. |
