Really neat description. I can say there is no other source explained the mechanism of how Erythropoietin is actually made by the kidneys. Well done :)

Yeaah really so nice And this is also most understandable by not only medical student but also a non-medical appreciative skill....l💕

Increased production of EPO is creating RBC- but do these RBC are being produced with oxygen? No, right?

So if an individual had just 1 kidney after surgery, could they expect to have a lower RBC count?

Erythropoietin is not a disease though, so the title doesn't make sense

what if a patient have low epo say, 3.3 and slightly high 5.93 and hb of 17.9?
