Erythropoietin Test in Chennai

When you have too much erythropoietin (EPO), you can develop erythrocytosis or polycythemia. Erythrocytosis is a condition characterized by an abnormally high synthesis of red blood cells (RBCs) in the bone marrow. This may lead to an increase in blood volume and viscosity, which can lead to a variety of issues. Below are the possible side effects associated with elevated levels of erythropoietin: Increased risk of blood clots High blood pressure (hypertension). Hematoma (blood accumulation under the skin) Symptoms like fatigue, and dizziness, due to impaired blood circulation Elevated levels can also impact platelet function and coagulation factors, potentially raising the risk of bleeding disorders.

Elevated levels of erythropoietin (EPO) can occur due to various reasons. Here are some possible causes of elevated EPO levels: Anemia: EPO is produced and released by the kidneys as a response to low oxygen levels in the body. In conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, chronic kidney disease, or other types of anemia, the body may produce higher levels of EPO to stimulate red blood cell production and increase oxygen-carrying capacity. Hypoxia: Any circumstance that causes a decrease in oxygen flow to the body's tissues can cause EPO to be released. This amount of EPO released depends on how low the oxygen level is. Erythropoietin-producing tumors: On rare occasions, certain tumors, such as renal cell carcinoma or liver tumor, can produce an abnormal EPO, resulting in increased EPO levels in the blood. Polycythemia vera: It is a bone marrow condition characterized by excessive red blood cell production. In this case, the body may manufacture more EPO to stimulate red blood cell synthesis. Understand that higher EPO levels may not provide a conclusive diagnosis and that more tests may be required to discover the underlying reason.

In adults, the normal reference range for erythropoietin is 2.6 to 18.5 (mU/mL). The normal range of erythropoietin levels may vary depending on the laboratory.
