Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced primarily by the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. It is released in response to low oxygen levels in the blood, helping to increase oxygen-carrying capacity. This process is crucial for maintaining adequate oxygen supply to tissues and organs. EPO is also used clinically to treat certain types of anemia, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease.
