Abstract

The invention relates to methods of treating a blood disorder in a mammal with an interleukin-1 (IL-1) inhibitor. The invention also relates to methods of treating a blood disorder in a mammal with an IL-1 inhibitor, a TNF inhibitor and an erythropoietin (EPO) receptor agonist. The invention also relates to compositions of an IL-1 inhibitor and compositions of an IL-1 inhibitor, a TNF inhibitor and an EPO receptor agonist.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of treating anemia in a mammal, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-IL-1 receptor antibody. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the treating of anemia raises the hematocrit in the mammal. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the target hematocrit is at least about 30%. 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the mammal suffers from anemia associated with a decline or loss of kidney function. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the mammal suffers from anemia associated with rheumatoid arthritis. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the mammal suffers from anemia associated with myelosuppressive therapy. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the myelosuppressive therapy comprises chemotherapeutic or anti-viral drugs. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the mammal suffers from anemia associated with excessive blood loss. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of iron. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of an erythropoietin (EPO) receptor agonist. 
     
     
         21 . (canceled) 
     
     
         22 . (canceled) 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the anti-IL-1 receptor antibody and the EPO receptor agonist are administered in separate compositions. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the anti-IL-1 receptor antibody and the EPO receptor agonist are administered in separate compositions at different times. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the anti-IL-1 receptor antibody and the EPO receptor agonist are administered in separate compositions at the same time. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the anti-IL-1 receptor antibody and the EPO receptor agonist are administered in the same composition. 
     
     
         27 . (canceled) 
     
     
         28 . (canceled) 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the EPO receptor agonist is epoietin alfa. 
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the EPO receptor agonist is darbepoietin alfa. 
     
     
         31 . (canceled) 
     
     
         32 . (canceled) 
     
     
         33 . (canceled) 
     
     
         34 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the blood disorder treated is anemia of chronic disease. 
     
     
         35 . (canceled) 
     
     
         36 . (canceled)
