Abstract
Although the kidney is clearly the major site of erythropoietin (Ep) production in the intact adult animal, evidence has steadily accumulated to indicate the existence of potent extrarenal loci of Ep biosynthesis.1,2 Thus the classic experiments of Jacobson and his group3 and Mirand et al.4 indicated that nephrectomy resulted in lowered production of Ep in rodents subjected to certain forms of hypoxia. The reduced elaboration of Ep following renal ablation cannot be attributed to the accumulation of unexcreted wastes in the renoprival state since bilateral ureteral ligation in the rat3 or implantation of the ureter into the iliac vein of the dog5 did not appreciably alter their ability to produce Ep in response to different types of hypoxia. Fried and co-workers6 and Schooley and Mahlmann7,8 noted that nephrectomized rats exposed to hypoxia produced approximately 10 to 15% of the Ep evoked in intact animals. These workers have demonstrated that a basic chemical similarity exists between exterarenal and renal Ep since anti-Ep neutralized the activity of the plasma from both sources (see refs. 2 and 9 for a more comprehensive treatment of this subject).
