Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein hormone used to stimulate erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) in patients with anemia, particularly anemia associated with chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, or certain treatments for HIV. Recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin alfa and similar agents) is approved and widely used in clinical practice.
Pharmacokinetic parameters of recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin alfa) administered subcutaneously to adult healthy volunteers.
