Refractory cytopenias with unilineage dysplasia (RCUD) is a frequent low-risk subtype of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; see this term) characterized by refractory cytopenias associated with dysplasia limited to one cell lineage.

To review the effect of 6 weeks of subcutaneous recombinant human erythropoietin 75 IU/kg administered 3 times weekly to resolve refractory anemia of chronic disease and heal Stage IV pressure ulcers, a retrospective chart review was conducted of four spinal cord injured patients (all men, mean age 59 years +/- 19) with Stage IV pressure ulcers and multiple comorbid conditions.
