What is the hormone that stimulates RBC formation?
The production of red blood cells is stimulated by erythropoietin, which is produced in the kidneys.The production of white blood cells is stimulated by mainly colony-stimulating factor, which is produced by endothelial cells and marrow fibroblasts.The production of platelets is stimulated by thrombopoietin, which is produced in the liver and kidneys.
What is the medical term for hormone produced by the kidney to increase formation of red blood cells?
Erythropoietin is the hormone produced and released by the kidneys to increase formation of red blood cells. It also increases the oxegenation in the blood.
Is erythropoietin an endocrine hormone?
Erythropoietin is a stimulant not a steroid. :)
What is secreted by the kidney to stimulate red blood cell production?
Erythropoietin is secreted by the kidney to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
What hormone increase causes an increase in red blood cell?
the hormone that produces red blood cells is erythropoeitin.
What are the target cells of erythropoietin?
Erythropoietin targets cells in the bone marrow called erythroid progenitor cells. These cells differentiate and proliferate in response to erythropoietin, leading to the production of red blood cells.
What is The abbreviation for erythropoietin?
EPO
What is erythropoietin n where is it found?
Erythropoietin is a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulate the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.
What is Procrit also called?
Erythropoietin
What is iflammation of the bone marrow?
A major factor in the anemia of infection, inflammation, and malignancy is a relative failure of the bone marrow to increase erythropoiesis in response to a shortened red cell survival. The possible causes for this diminished marrow response are: (a) a reduced production of erythropoietin, or, (b) impaired bone marrow response to erythropoietin. In this report studies were performed on 6 normals, 13 patients with anemia from infection or inflammation, and 18 patients with anemia caused by advanced malignancy. Serum erythropoietin activity was measured using the posthypoxic, policymaker mouse assay. Assessment of bone marrow response to erythropoietin was made by measuring 59Fe-heme synthesis in bone marrow suspensions cultured for 3 days with and without the addition of erythropoietin. The results showed that marrow heme synthesis was increased in erythropoietin-treated cultures as compared with saline control cultures by 66±8% (mean ±SE) in normals, 101±10% in patients with infection or inflammation, and 31±5% in malignancy. Serum erythropoietin levels were consistently diminished relative to expected levels for the degree of anemia in the infection-inflammatory group, but not in malignancy. In these patients, plasma inhibitors to the biological activity of erythropoietin were not detected in Vito. These studies suggest that another factor to consider in the anemia of malignancy is a decreased bone marrow response to erythropoietin. In the anemia of infection-inflammation, marrow response to erythropoietin is normal, but serum levels of erythropoietin are decreased relative to the degree of anemia.

Which is essential for formation of RBC?
if we consider the formation of RBCs Erythropoietin, produced by the kidneys, signals RBC formation in the red bone marrow is required. but if we consider the activation of rbc so haemoglobin is essential, in which haemoglobin consiats of single molecule so we can also say for the activation of rbc that:- IRON------>HAEMOGLOBIN------>RBC and RBC are produced as BY KIDNEY------->ERTHROPROTEIN------>RBC
