how does erypro works and will be there any serious concerns

[bumblebee_tuna]

Erythropoietin is a hormone that your kidneys naturally make to stimulate the production of red blood cells. If you have CKD your kidneys usually don't produce enough of it. Usually there is a target Hemoglobin that your doctor/nurse try to hit with the injection and will monitor you with blood tests. It's fairly safe afaik.

Subcutaneous and fairly safe most goals are hgb levels of 10 or above. Been taking the drugs for over 20 years. Very helpful.
