May indicate mechanism for rHuEpo-associated hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires clinical confirmation.
Does rHuEpo stimulate cellular proliferation and endothelin-1 production in cultured endothelial cells?
rHuEpo directly stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and endothelin-1 production, providing a potential mechanism for rHuEpo-induced hypertension in hemodialysis patients.
Nagai et al. (1995) studied this question.
