How Renocrit 10000 IU PFS Works?

​​Renocrit 10000 IU PFS containing Erythropoietin is a hormone produced by the kidneys that plays a critical role in the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Erythropoietin is produced in response to low oxygen levels in the body. When oxygen levels are low, the kidneys release more EPO, which stimulates the production of red blood cells. As a result, the number of red blood cells in the body increases, and more oxygen is delivered to the body's tissues.​
