EPO Increases Stroke Risk


A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine yesterday reported an increase risk of stroke in patients with kidney disease or diabetes. Not surprising.

For commentary, see Yahoo News.

EPO (short for erythropoietin) is a hormone secreted by the kidney that stimulates the bone marrow to increase red blood cell production. The primary benefit of altitude training is an increase in the natural production of EPO which increases the hemoglobin content of the blood. Oxygen is transported in the blood attached to hemoglobin.
