Using logic and reason .. if transfusions TO a higher hemoglobin kill
you and if using drugs to stimuate red blood cell production TO a
higher hemoglobin kill you .. then .. higher hemoglobin is .. bad ..

"it was once
thought that blood transfusions should be performed any time a
patient's
hemoglobin level dipped below 10 grams of hemoglobin per decilitre of
blood - but now guidelines in varying countries put that between 6 and
8g."
According to this .. the hemoglobin seems to be very low BEFORE ..
intervention / transfusion .. is advised .. according to some
countries.
Now .. WHY .. is the intervention of .. erythropoiesis ..
STIMULATING .. drugs .. used .. BEFORE .. those guidelines OF ..
"increased death rate" ..
If you have an increased DEATH rate .. using ONE method of increasing
hemoglobin one might use their .. brain .. and generalize it TO .. the
general category of .. ? .. ? .. hemglobin .. ?
Soo .. IF .. one USES .. hemoglobin .. then one would NOT .. use ..
the 'anemia intervention' OF .. drugs ..
'Coincidentally' .. the drugs getting BIG PRESS LATELY .. for .. ? ..
for .. ?
"Killing numerous people" ..
Sooo .. since the transfusions kill people .. and since the
erythropoietin .. is killing everyone .. one might think these ..
braindeadfkgmorons .. would catch .. on .. ?
One .. might .. LIKE .. to think ..
Hypervolemia / erythrocytosis .. is treated by .. bloodletting /
hemodilution /
venesection / erythrocytapheresis / phlebotomy .. etc , etc , etc

This is the largest published study measuring blood volume and
patient
outcomes. Congestive heart failure is the number one cause for
admission to
hospitals for patients over 65 years of age and results in annual
healthcare
costs exceeding $38 billion.
The study followed severely ill congestive heart failure patients for
a median
follow up of 719 days. During the first year, the major finding was a
39% death
rate in patients that were hypervolemic (excess blood volume) vs. 0%
death rate
for those who were normovolemic/hypovolemic (normal blood volume/
mildly reduced
blood volume). For those hypervolemic patients that were followed for
a median
duration of 719 days, the death rate was almost 55% vs. 0% for those
patients
who were normovolemic to slightly hypovolemic.
