eritropoietin

listen to the pronunciation of eritropoietin
Türkisch - Englisch
erythropoietin
{i} substance which regulates the production of red blood cells
a glycoprotein secreted by the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells
a hormone that stimulates peripheral stem cells in the bone marrow to produce red blood cells
A hormone normally produced by the kidneys It maintains red blood cell production, and therefore haemaglobin levels in the blood Synthetic erythropoeitin is known as haematopoietic growth factor which means it plays a role in regulating the production of a specific blood cell, in this case red blood cells
Erythropoietin is a hormone secreted by certain cells in the kidney in response to a reduction in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues; it stimulates red blood cell production
A medication that is genetically produced form of a naturally occurring hormone in the body This drug directly stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells The hormone may contain albumin (a minor component of blood) and, if so, taking it would be a conscience matter
A hormone manufactured by the kidney that stimulates blood cell formation
Protein secreted by a normal functioning kidney, combines with iron and amino acid in the bone marrow to produce red blood cells When kidneys fail, erythropoietin is not produced, and consequently red blood cells are not produced; the patient then becomes anemic
A sialic acid-containing protein that enhances red cell production by stimulating formation of proerythroblasts and release of reticulocytes from bone marrow; it is formed by the kidney and liver, and can be detected in human plasma and urine
A glycoprotein hormone that functions as a cytokine for erythrocyte precursors in bone marrow
A hormone made by the kidneys to help form red blood cells Lack of this hormone may lead to anemia
A glycoprotein mitogen & hormone (MW 23,000) produced by the kidneys & that stimulates formation of erythrocytes
A hormone produced by the kidneys Myeloma patients with damaged kidneys don't produce enough erythropoietin and can become anemic Injections with synthetic erythropoietin can be helpful Blood transfusion is another alternative, especially in an emergency Synthetic erythropoietin is being used prophylactically before chemo-therapy and as a supportive therapy after chemotherapy to avoid anemia
