Erythropoiesis. We're now going to talk about the physiology of erythropoiesis. Erythropoietin is a hormone that is the main regulator of the production of red blood cells. Erythropoietin is made in the kidneys and its synthesis is increased in response to a lack of oxygen or hypoxia. Erythropoietin then makes its way to the bone marrow where it stimulates the production of red blood cells.
The goal of this activity is to provide healthcare providers with foundational knowledge on the physiology of erythrocyte production in the body, the development of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), and how emerging ESAs aid this natural process.
