Erythropoiesis assessment

Active

Description

Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells (erythrocytes) are produced in bone marrow. It is stimulated by decreased O2 in circulation, leading to secretion of the hormone erythropoietin by the kidneys. This hormone stimulates proliferation and differentiation of red cell precursors, which activates increased erythropoiesis in the hemopoietic tissues and ultimately producing red blood cells. In certain diseases, erythropoiesis also occurs outside the bone marrow, e.g. within the spleen or liver, and is known as extramedullary erythropoiesis. Individuals with anemia have abnormally low levels of red blood cells whereas those with polycythemia have abnormally high levels of red blood cells.
