Methods Patient population. We initially studied 14 males and 6 females with chronic renal failure and anemia who received maintenance hemodialysis for 7 to 97 months. Informed consent was obtained prior to their receiving androgen therapy. Their mean age was 49 years. Ten patients had glomerulonephritis, three polycystic kidney disease, five nephrosclerosis, one nephrotic syndrome and one retroperitoneal fibrosis. The mean value for their blood urea nitrogen was 77 mg/dl (with a range of 51 to 96 mg! dl); for their serum creatinine, 10.9 mg/dl (range of 6.5 to 17.4 mg/dl); for their serum calcium, 9.4 mg/dl (range of 8.6 to 11.4 mgldl); for their serum phosphorous, 4.1 mg/dl (range of 2.4 to 7.7 mg/dl); and for their alkaline phosphatase, 80 U/ml (range of 28 to 339 U/ml). C-terminal PTH assays showed a mean serum parathyroid hormone level of 396 ng/ml (range of 191 to 548 ng/ml). Nineteen patients were clinically stable on dialysis for 4 hr, three times a week with a hollow fiber or coil dialyzer. One patient was treated with a plate dialyzer for 6 hr, three times a week at home. None of the patients underwent parathyroidectomy prior to or during the study. Table 1 displays a clinical summary of the initial 20 patients studied. Two patients with glomerulonephritis were anephric (Table 1). Three patients experienced kidney transplant rejec-tions from 4 months to 2 years prior to the study (two were from cadavers and one was from a related living donor; Table 1). The mean SEM value in all 20 patients for hemoglobin was 6.9 0.3 g/dl; for their reticulocyte index, 0.3 0.38%; for their absolute neutrophil count, 4,463 120/mm3; for their absolute lymphocyte count 1,330 52/mm3, and for their
