time it takes to raise hemoglobin levels
For people on dialysis with anemia due to CKD. It takes time for your body to make new red blood cells and raise your hemoglobin (Hb) level. With EPOGENÂ® treatment, Hb levels usually increase in 2 to 6 weeks. Your doctor will test your blood regularlyâat least weekly at the beginning of your treatmentâto make sure EPOGENÂ® is working.
