Erythropoietin Level

Erythropoietin Level


The Erythropoietin Level test checks the amount of erythropoietin hormone in your blood, which plays an important role in the production of red blood cells. Abnormal EPO levels may indicate conditions such as anaemia, bone marrow disorders, kidney disease, or polycythaemia. This test is often recommended when there are unexplained changes in red blood cell counts.
