Erythropoiesis may increase in response to low oxygen levels in the blood, a condition known as hypoxia, which can occur due to high altitude, chronic lung disease, or anemia. The kidneys detect decreased oxygen and release more erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Additionally, increased physical activity or conditions that elevate the demand for oxygen can also trigger enhanced erythropoiesis.
What else can I help you with?
What would lead to increase erythropoiesis?
A reduced blood flow to the kidneys
Does chronic bleeding ulcer increase erythropoiesis?
increased demand for oxygen
What is the term for erythrocyte production?
The exact word for this would be ''erythropoiesis''.
What failed organ would contribute to impaired erythropoiesis?
Kidneys
What part of the body does erythropoietin (EPO) target to increase erythropoiesis?
Erythropoietin (EPO) primarily targets the bone marrow to increase erythropoiesis, which is the production of red blood cells. It stimulates the differentiation of progenitor cells into erythrocytes and promotes their maturation. EPO is produced mainly by the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels in the blood.
What condition triggers erythropoiesis?
Erythropoiesis, or the production of red blood cells, is triggered by hypoxia or low oxygen levels in the body. This stimulates the release of erythropoietin, a hormone produced by the kidneys, which acts on the bone marrow to increase the production of red blood cells in order to help transport more oxygen to body tissues.
Does erythropoiesis require folate?
Erythropoiesis requires B12, Folic acid and iron.
What are all the factors that would serve as stimuli for erythropoiesis?
Hemorrhage or living at high altitude
Do hemorrhoids cause erythropoiesis?
No
What does Erythropoiesis not require?
vitamin K
What are the causes of ineffective erythropoiesis?
thalassemia
What slows down erythropoiesis?
Anemia
