What are Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESAs)?
Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents, commonly known as ESAs, are biologically engineered drugs designed to stimulate the production of red blood cells. These agents are primarily used to treat anemia, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy-induced anemia, and certain other medical conditions. The primary mechanism of action involves stimulating the erythropoietin receptors in the bone marrow, thereby enhancing red blood cell production.
