South-East region of Poland includes six voivodeships, with about 3.6 mln of inhabitants. Nine dialysis centers work in this region with 273 places to perform maintenance haemodialysis outside Lublin, and 53 places in Lublin Clinic Center. The aim of this paper was to analyse the state of r-Hu EPO treatment in chronic dialysis patients. We would like to compare the treatment possibilities in the clinic unit with other haemodialysis units of our region and with data from Western Europe that we know from EDTA report. Simultaneously we decided to estimate real possibilities of iron treatment monitoring. As it is well known correct management of iron supplementation treatment, allows for the significant reduction of r-Hu EPO administration.
