Cis-retinoic acid(CRA)and its metabolites have been shown to increase, in vitro, the number of Burst Forming Units Erythroid (BFU-e), the more immature erythroid precursors, in a dose-dependent manner(1). Thus, besides EPO, also retinoids might be able to correct the defective bone marrow(BM)erythroid proliferative activity in uremics (2).
