Abstract
- It has been well established that the kidney is the main organ producing erythropoietin (E.S.F.). Erythropoietin activity was reported to be increased in cases of renal tumor. cyst, polycystic disease and hydronephrosis. To study erythropoietic activity in hydronephrosis and renal cell carcinoma, erythropoietin bioassay by DeGowin method were performed in 7cases of hydronephrosis and renal cell carcinoma. Erythropoietin activity is significantly increased in renal cell carcinoma but not significantly increasedin hydronephrosis.
