A member asked:
Will a person with just "one kidney" need epo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly..: It depends on your residual kidney function, if you are anemic, and if anemia is present without another cause. If you have decreased kidney function which is determined by your creatinine level (it would be elevated), then you should see a nephrologist who can recommend EPO if necessary.
