What hormones stimulates proliferation of red blood cells in red bone marrow?

Erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidney, stimulates the production of red blood cells. Almost all of the erythropoietin within the circulation is derived from the kidneys. Hypoxia is one of the main stimuli that induces erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys. In severe kidney disease, a decrease in erythropoietin production results in severe anemia.
