Resumo (PT): our study failed to demonstrate a link between mutations/polymorphisms in DMT1 gene, and resistance to rhEPO therapy. Moreover, no influence of DMT1 gene mutations/polymorphisms in rhEPO doses, haematological data and iron status was demonstrated in our CKD patients. <br> <br> <a target="_blank" href="http://ndtplus.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/1/suppl_2/ii26"> Texto integral</a> <br> <br>
