Why It's Done:
- Distinguish autonomous Polycythemia Vera (low/suppressed EPO) from secondary hypoxia (high EPO)
- Assess renal endocrine functional capacity to produce erythropoietin
- Predict patient responsiveness to recombinant erythropoietin therapy in CKD and MDS
- Investigate erythropoietin-secreting renal or hepatic tumors
