Serum erythropoietin; EPO Normal Values: The normal range is 0-19 mU/ml (milliunits per milliliter). What abnormal results mean: Elevated levels may indicate secondary polycythemia (an increased production of red blood cells in response to a circumstance like low levels of oxygen in the blood). Lower-than-normal levels may be seen in chronic renal failure or polycythemia vera (when the body makes too many red blood cells for an unknown reason).
