Erythropoietin (EPO) has been in clinical use for the treatment of anemia for over 15 years. Recently it has been demonstrated that EPO has actions other than stimulating the bone marrow. It has been suggested that due to its tissue protecting effect, EPO may be effective in improving outcome in the critically ill.
促红细胞生成素(EPO)已在临床用于治疗贫血超过15年。最近有研究表明,EPO除了刺激骨髓外还有其他作用。有人提出,由于其组织保护作用,EPO可能对改善危重症患者的预后有效。
