Transplantasi ginjal dapat memperbaiki fungsi jantung Penelitianeksperimental pada binatang membuktikan bahwa peningkatan kadar hormoneritropoetin memperbaiki fungsi jantung namun secara klinis masih menjadi bahanperdebatan Tujuan: Untuk menilai hubungan peningkatan kadar eritropoetin dengan perbaikanfungsi jantung pada pasien gagal ginjal yang menjalani transplantasi Metoda: Penelitian Kohor prospektif pada pasien gagal ginjal yang menjalanitransplantasi di RSCM Jumlah subyek 21 orang yang dikumpulkan dalam kurunwaktu Maret September 2013 Pengambilan data ekokardiografi dan kadareritropoetin dilakukan sebelum dan 3 bulan sesudah transplantasi ginjal Analisisstatistik dengan uji korelasi Pearson atau Spearman Hasil: Penelitian ini menunjukkan peningkatan bermakna kadar eritropoetin 7 58 2 56 mlU ml menjadi 18 1 6 4 mlU ml Terdapat hubungan peningkatan kadareritropoetin dengan LVEDD r 0 56 p0 05 Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan peningkatan kadar eritropoetin dengan perbaikanLVH LVEDD pada pasien gagal ginjal yang menjalani transplantasi Tidak ada hubungan peningkatan kadar eritropoetin dengan perbaikan LVEF

Kidney transplantation improved cardiac function Based on animaltrials elevated levels of erythropoietin hormone can improved cardiac function butin clinically still debate Aim: To determine association between elevated levels of erythropoietin andimprovement cardiac function on renal failure who underwent transplantation Methods: Prospective cohort study on renal failure who underwent kidneytransplantation at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital The study include 21 subjects whocollected it from Marct to September 2013 Data of echocardiography anderythropoietin level were collected at time prior to kidney transplantation and repeat 3months there after The association between elevated levels of erythropoietin andcardiac function was analyzed using Pearson correlation and Spearman test Results: The study showed a significantly elevated levels of erythropoietin from7 58 2 56 to 18 1 6 4 mlU ml There was statistically significant association between elevated levels of erythropoietin and LVEDD r 0 56 p Conclusions: There was association elevated levels of erythropoietin and improvement of LVH, LVEDD on renal failure who underwent transplantation, however, there was no association of elevated levels of erythropoietin level and improvement of LVEF.
