Hematopoiesis
The production from undifferentiated
stem cells of circulating erythrocytes,
platelets, and leukocytes, is a
remarkable process that produces
over 200 billion new cells per day in
the normal person and even greater
numbers of blood cells in people with
conditions that cause loss or
destruction of blood cells

Absorption
Normally absorbed in the duodenum
and proximal jejunum, though the
more distal small intestine can absorb
iron if necessary
Heme iron in meat hb and myoglobin
can be absorb intact
Iron in vegetables and grains tightly
bound to phytates or other complexing
agents absorption<<

injection
Hydroxycobalamin
100-1000g IM daily or every other day
for 1-2 weeks to replenish body store
Maintenance : 100-1000 g IM once a
month for life
If neurologic abnormailites are present,
maintenance therapy injections should be
given every 1-2 weeks for 6 months
before switching to monthly injections

Folic Acid
1 mg orally daily is sufficient to
reverse megaloblastic anemia,
restore normal serum folate levels,
and replenish body stores of folates
Dose therapeutic: 2-5 mg/day,
prophylactic0.5 mg/day

Adverse effects
Oral FA is entirely non toxic
Injections rarely cause sensitivity

regulate the proliferation and
differentiation of hematopoietic
progenitor cells in the bone marrow
Erythropoietin (epoitin alfa),
granulocyte colony stimulating factor

Erythropoietin
1st human HGF to be isolated, from the

Epoitin alfa = rHuEpo (recombinant
human erythropietin):

system using recombinant DNA technology
- IV: t1/2 4-13 hrs, IU
