Hyperhomocysteinemia is frequently found in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations may be reduced by supplementation with folic acid or combinations of folic acid, vitamin B-12, and vitamin B-6. Supplementation studies with vitamin B-12 alone in patients with ESRD have not yet been published. In this study, we investigated the effects of intravenous injection of cyanocobalamin (1 mg/wk for 4 weeks) in ESRD patients (N = 14) with low serum cobalamin concentrations (
