Erythropoietin levels in both serum and urine have been measured in seven patients with various haematologic disorders and three normal male subjects before and after the short term administration of androgen. Increase in erythropoietin was seen in the urine of the normal subjects. Increase was also seen either in the urine or serum of all 7 patients, 5 of whom had already elevated erythropoietin titers.
