A member asked:
Why is the production of erythropoeitin impaired in a patient with renal disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidneys make it!: Erythropoietin is made by the kidneys. Diseased kidneys make less. Back in the 70's when i was in med school erythropoietin had not been isolated but its' existence was postulated based on the observation that renal patients tended to be anemic.
