SERUM ERYTHROPROTEIN

Hypro Diagnostics offers a specialized test to measure erythropoietin (EPO) levels in the blood. EPO, a hormone produced by the kidneys, plays a crucial role in signaling the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Optimal EPO levels are indicative of the body’s ability to generate healthy red blood cells, vital for maintaining adequate oxygen levels. Elevated EPO levels often coincide with insufficient oxygen, prompting the need for this test when investigating anemia or assessing kidney function. Hypro Diagnostics provides this test not only to identify potential health issues but also to assist in detecting abnormalities such as kidney tumors associated with elevated EPO levels. Additionally, for professional athletes like cyclists and long-distance runners, this test is employed to ensure compliance with anti-doping measures, addressing concerns related to the use of EPO for performance enhancement.
