26 May 2014, Perth, (http://royaldrugstore.co/) : Epogen is a haematopoietic agent, prescribed for anemia in people with chronic kidney failure. It helps in the formation of red blood cells by the bone marrow. Epogen is a haematopoietic agent, prescribed for anemia in people with chronic kidney failure. It helps in the formation of red blood cells by the bone marrow. Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein which stimulates red blood cell production. It is produced in the kidney and stimulates the division and differentiation of committed erythroid progenitors in the bone marrow. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside the bone). In order to make red blood cells, the body maintains an adequate supply of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that is produced by the kidney.

EPO helps make red blood cells. Having more red blood cells raises your hemoglobin levels. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that helps blood carry oxygen throughout the body.

Anemia is a disorder that occurs when there is not enough hemoglobin in a person's blood. There are several different causes of anemia. For instance, anemia can be caused by the body’s inability to produce enough EPO to make red blood cells. If this is the case, the person may have to have a blood transfusion to treat this type of anemia. If you have anemia, your physician can determine the cause.
