    Glossary Erythropoietin

    hormone that stimulates red blood cell production

    Erythropoietin, often abbreviated as EPO, is a hormone produced primarily by the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. It is crucial for maintaining adequate oxygen levels in the blood, and its synthetic form is sometimes used medically to treat anemia, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease.
