About Cresp+ 60 PFS Injection 0.3 ml
Cresp+ 60 PFS Injection 0.3 ml belongs to the class of medication called 'blood-forming agent' primarily used to treat anaemia (low red blood cell count) in person with long-term serious (chronic) kidney disease and persons receiving chemotherapy for some types of cancer (except for bone marrow or blood cells' cancer). Cresp+ 60 PFS Injection 0.3 ml helps to reverse anaemia and reduce the need for blood transfusion. Anaemia occurs when the body has a lower amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin. In chronic kidney disease, the kidney gets damaged and doesn't filter the blood, leading to anaemia.

Cresp+ 60 PFS Injection 0.3 ml is a biologic response modifier and erythropoiesis-stimulating protein. In chronic kidney disease, when the kidney fails to produce sufficient 'erythropoietin protein' which aids in the formation of red blood cells, Cresp+ 60 PFS Injection 0.3 ml stimulates the production of this protein in the bone marrow.

Key Benefits
Cresp+ 60 PFS Injection 0.3 ml is a human-made form of naturally occurring erythropoiesis-stimulating protein or erythropoietin (a hormone produced by the kidney's specialized cells and is responsible for protecting red blood cells against destruction and also stimulates the cells of bone marrow to produce more amount of red blood cells). Deficiency of erythropoietin happens when a person is suffering from chronic kidney diseases, which in turn cause low red blood cells count causing anaemia. This medicine is primarily indicated for treating anaemia (low red blood cell count) in persons with long-term serious (chronic) kidney disease and persons receiving chemotherapy for some types of cancer except for bone marrow or blood cells' cancer. Cresp+ 60 PFS Injection 0.3 ml contains a protein 'Darbepoetin alfa' which works by providing signals to the bone marrow to make more red blood cells.
