definition
noun
The mechanism responsible for polycythaemia is the release of the hormone erythropoietin from the kidney as a result of the shortage of oxygen there.
a hormone secreted by the kidneys that increases the rate of production of red blood cells in response to falling levels of oxygen in the tissues.
example
As renal function declines, patients are likely to develop anemia because of decreased renal production of 'erythropoietin' .
The marrow often has to be supported with granulocyte stimulating factor or 'erythropoietin' .
However, if symptoms become severe, a blood transfusion or injections of synthetic 'erythropoietin' , a hormone normally produced by the kidneys, may help stimulate red blood cell production and ease fatigue.
The mechanism responsible for polycythaemia is the release of the hormone 'erythropoietin' from the kidney as a result of the shortage of oxygen there.
Another important renal response to ischemia is the release of 'erythropoietin' , which stimulates the bone marrow to increase production of red blood cells.
