Abstract
Eighty-six children (mean age, 34 months) were studied to determine whether elevated blood lead levels in children are associated with lower erythropoietin concentrations. The median erythropoietin concentration was 5.9 mIU/mL (range, 2.3 to 11.5 mIU/mL), and the median blood lead level was 0.87 μmol/L (18 μg/dL; range, 2 to 84 μg/dL). Blood lead concentration was inversely and independently related to erythropoietin concentration. (J Pediatr 1999;134:107-9)
