Why the kidney?

abstract：:Both the plasma determinations of erythropoietic (EPO) and transferrin receptor (TfR) would provide a good characterization of anemia especially when mixed erythron disorders underlie, such as in renal failure. Immunologic assays of EPO and TfR, as well as standard hematologic determinations (hematocrit, reticulocyte ...
