Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone secreted by specialized cells in the kidney that stimulate the bone marrow to manufacturered blood cells(erythrocytes). Red blood cells in the blood stream containhemoglobinthat transport oxygen from air in the lungsand deliver it to every cell in the body. Thos...
