where is EPO in the body
peritubular interstitial cells of the kidney
how does inflammation or infection change EPO levels
suppress EPO secretion
how does EPO dosing need to be adjusted in patient with chronic renal failure
3x/week rather than once because dialysis
how is darbepoetin different than epoietin alpha
longer half life
MOA EPO
induces erythropoiesis by stimulating division and differentiation of committed erythroid progenitor cells
induces release of reticulocytes from bone marrow into blood stream
how does EPO change Hct and Hb? how long for drug effect?
increase Hct and Hb in 2-6 weeks
reticulocyte count inc in 10 days
why does chronic kidney disease cause anemia
kidneys cannot produce GF needed for erythropoiesis
