Abstract

Because therapeutic options are limited, the treatment of anemia in a Jehovah’s Witness patient with bleeding presents a dilemma for the clinician. This report describes erythropoiesis augmentation in a Jehovah’s Witness with gastrointestinal bleeding.* The literature regarding the use of erythropoietin in gastrointestinal bleeding is also reviewed.
