The Erythropoietin (EPO) Level Test is a blood test that measures the concentration of the hormone Erythropoietin. EPO is primarily produced by the kidneys and plays a crucial role in stimulating the bone marrow to produce red blood cells (RBCs), a process called erythropoiesis.
The test is essential for determining the cause of abnormal RBC counts, specifically in cases of anemia (too few RBCs) or polycythemia (too many RBCs).
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-accredited lab in Delhi, we provide accurate EPO testing, which is critical for diagnosing kidney-related anemia and certain blood disorders.
