Erythropoietin (EPO) Market Report: 2012 Edition - New Report by Koncept Analytics

Sept. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- With the advent of novel technology, companies operating in the healthcare/science/pharmaceutical/therapeutic area are now scaling new heights. Also this industry is boosted by the rising number of incidences of health related issues emanating from the changing lifestyle and rapidly evolving surrounding environment.

Amongst the respective industries of biological sciences, an upcoming industry is of EPO (Erythropoietin) and ESA (Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents). EPO is a glycoprotein hormone which regulates erythropoiesis i.e. the production of Red Blood Cells (RBC). EPO is mainly produced within the human kidneys by the interstitial fibroblasts in a close association with and tubular epithelial cells. But the production of endogenous EPO is marred in case of people suffering with renal anemia as the kidney remains inflamed and also in the instance of anemia occurring due to chemotherapy amongst cancer patients. EPO is also used for placating conditions like neurological disorders, post cardiac surgery term and other critical illness situations.
