[Blood erythropoietin level in female reproductive age (can the reproductive tissue be the source of erythropoietin in blood?)].

Blood erythropoietin level was investigated in females of reproductive age, who had normal peripheral red blood findings. It was determined that blood erythropoietin level was 1.5-2 times higher (20.04 +/- 2.10; 28.57 +/- 5.87 mU/ml) in examined females with increased mitotic activity and hyperplasia signs of cervical squamous epithelia compared with female having normal cervix (12.73 +/- 0.96 mU/ml). In females with chronic cervicitis, blood erythropoietin level was decreased (8.87 +/- 1.72 mU/ml).
