eritropoietint
Erythropoietin, abbreviated EPO, is a glycoprotein hormone that regulates red blood cell production. It is produced mainly by the kidneys in adults, with smaller contributions from the liver during fetal development. In some languages the term eritropoietint is used as a variant spelling of erythropoietin.
Renal peritubular interstitial cells respond to tissue hypoxia through the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, increasing EPO
Clinically, recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) products—such as epoetin alfa, epoetin beta, and various biosimilars—are used to
Risks and monitoring include hypertension, thromboembolic events, and, rarely, pure red cell aplasia caused by antibodies
