Description
EPO (Erythropoietin)
EPO (erythropoietin) is a naturally occurring glycoprotein hormone, mainly produced in the kidneys, that promotes the formation of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the bone marrow. Recombinant forms of EPO are extensively used in clinical settings to manage different types of anemia, especially those linked to chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, and specific bone marrow conditions. By boosting red blood cell production, EPO enhances the body’s ability to transport oxygen.
Common clinical and research uses include:
– Managing anemia
– Supporting patients with chronic kidney disease
– Treating anemia caused by chemotherapy
– Stimulating red blood cell generation
– Advancing studies in hematology and regenerative medicine
