Erythropoietin is secreted by the kidney to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
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.
To convert erythropoietin IU to milligrams, you need to know the specific activity of the erythropoietin preparation you are using. The specific activity is typically provided by the manufacturer and is expressed as IU/mg. Once you have the specific activity, you can divide the amount of IU by the specific activity to obtain the equivalent amount in milligrams.
The level of erythropoietin production would rise in response to decreased oxygen levels in the blood, a condition known as hypoxia. This increase occurs primarily in the kidneys, where specialized cells detect low oxygen and stimulate the production of erythropoietin. Elevated erythropoietin then promotes the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, enhancing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. This adaptive mechanism helps restore adequate oxygen levels in the body.
Yes, due to low erythropoietin hormone
Erythropoietin is a stimulant not a steroid. :)

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.
Erythropoietin is a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulate the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.

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.
