hi
thanks for posting on hcm.
espogen 4000 injection is prescribed for anemic patients that is those with are low haemoglobin
espogen is an analogue of an hormone called erythropoietin produced by the kidneys in the body which is necesacry for red blood cells in the body. in your wife's case as the result indicates creatininie content is high which should usually be less than 2, indicating that there some interference with the kidney function, suggesting that it could be one of the reason for the low haemoglobin, i suppose this is why the doctor has prescribed the above said.
hope this could be of some help to you.
regards
