Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on erythropoiesis in patients on haemodialysis

Conclusion:
These results indicate that ACEi therapy may increase erythropoietin resistance and worsen erythropoiesis in haemodialysis patients with the D allele.
