Erythropoiesis (from Greek 'erythro' meaning red and 'poiesis' meaning to make) is the process which produces red blood cells (erythrocytes). It is stimulated by decreased O 2 in circulation, which is detected by the kidneys, which then secrete the hormone erythropoietin.
Erythropoiesis involves the close interaction of iron and erythropoietin. In essence, erythropoietin is the accelerator that drives erythropoiesis. Iron is the fuel for the production of new red blood cells. When the two are coupled, red cell production moves briskly and efficiently. If one component is absent (e.g., iron deficiency) anemia results. Even when both components are available, they must be coordinately delivered to the bone marrow for proper action.
