- Erythropoietin: Production, Purpose, Test Levels
Erythropoietin is a hormone that your kidneys naturally make to stimulate the production of red blood cells High or low levels of erythropoietin can cause health problems
- Erythropoietin - Wikipedia
Erythropoietin has its primary effect on red blood cell progenitors and precursors (which are found in the bone marrow in humans) by promoting their survival through protecting these cells from apoptosis, or cell death
- Erythropoietin (EPO) Test: Levels, Results, Diagnosis
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone secreted by specialized cells in the kidney that stimulate the bone marrow to manufacture red blood cells (erythrocytes) The EPO test is ordered to help determine the cause of an unexplained anemia (low red blood cell count)
