| erythropoiesis | <haematology> Process of production of erythrocytes in the marrow in adult mammals. A pluripotent stem cell (CFU) produces, by a series of divisions, committed stem cells (BFU Es) that give rise to CFU Es, cells that will divide only a few more times to produce mature erythrocytes. Each stem cell product can give rise to 2exp11 mature red cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| erythropoietic | Pertaining to or characterised by erythropoiesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| erythropoietic hormone | Generally, any hormone that promotes the formation of red blood cells, e.g., testosterone, Synonym: erythropoietin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| erythropoietic porphyria | A classification of porphyria that includes congenital erythropoietic porphyria and erythropoietic protoporphyria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| erythropoietic protoporphyria | <haematology> A group of metabolic disorders that result from a disturbance in porphyrin metabolism, causing increased formation and excretion of porphyrin or its precursors. Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare inherited (autosomal dominant) form that can result in abdominal pain, photosensitivity and neurological disturbances. The various forms can be differntiated measuring various blood prophyrins. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| erythropoietin | <growth factor, hormone> Erythropoietin is a Glycoprotein (46 kD) hormone produced by specialised cells in the kidneys that regulates the production of red blood cells in the marrow. These cells are sensitive to low arterial oxygen concentration and will release erythropoietin when oxygen is low. Erythropoietin stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells (to increase the oxygen caring capacity of the blood). The measurement of this hormone in the bloodstream can indicate bone marrow disorders or kidney disease. Normal levels of erythropoietin are 0 to 19 mU/ml (milliunits per millilitre). Elevated levels can be seen in polycythaemia rubra vera. Lower than normal values are seen in chronic renal failure.Recombinant erythopoeitin is now being used therapeutically in patients. Acronym: EPO (27 Sep 1997) |
