The high prevalence of unrecognized anaemia in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease: a population-based study.

Background: Anaemia occurs early in the course of diabetes-related chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is little evidence about the prevalence of anaemia in people with diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of anaemia, by stage of CKD, in the general diabetic population.

Inhibition of normal human granulopoiesis in vitro by amiloride: evidence for the involvement of facilitated sodium influx in the induction of differentiation.

The formation of colonies by normal human bone marrow granulopoietic progenitor cells in vitro in soft agar was inhibited in a simple, dose-dependent manner by amiloride (50% inhibitory concentration 26.4 +/- 3.4 microM, n = 9).
