Erythropoietin: Eprex® is synthetic erythropoietin used to replace that lacking in people who can't make enough, often because their kidneys are not working properly. There are side-effects of every medication on the market, and whether the risks or benefits of these outweigh the usefulness of a particular substance will depend upon why it is being used and in whom.

Eprex can cause: Edema but not albuminuria. Hypertension, kidney problem, diabetes etc can cause albuminuria. Follow up with your pcp and nephrologist. Take care! http://www.Medbroadcast.Com/drug_info_details.Asp?Brand_name_id=1174&next_page=y#adverseeffects.
