Bloat

I've just bloated up the article with content from erythropoietin (this version) because this article is about the therapeutic uses of EPO and its abuses. Happy to be flamed about it. JFW | T@lk 11:50, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

QOL in CKD

Contrary to anecdote, this systematic review and meta-analysis failed to find an improvement in HRQOL in people with CKD. doi:10.7326/M15-1839 JFW | T@lk 11:50, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is talking about "Erythropoiesis-stimulating agent" -"ESA" in short

Then why there are quite some talks on EPO's (like EPO-doping, Recombinant EPO)? I'm a layman on this subject, but I'm certain there must be some difference between ESA and EPO. Can anybody help clarify? Thanks. ThomasYehYeh (talk) 07:14, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
