Abstract:
A method for the treatment of bleeding from organs involved with benign and malignant lesions by the subcutaneous administration of Erythropoietin. The method makes unnecessary the need for surgery or transfusion of large amounts of blood. The invention provides a conservative treatment for bleeding which works on extensive areas of benign lesions and malignant lesions. The treatment has the following benefits: (1) stops bleeding, (2) eliminates the need for further transfusions, with its attendant complications, (3) allows for treatment as an outpatient, (4) eliminates the need for surgery, (5) allows the patient to return to an excellent quality of life, (6) has no observed side effects, (7) stops bleeding while the patient is fully anti-coagulated, and (8) treats benign and malignant bleeding lesions. Patients with normal or abnormal coagulation/ hemostasis can benefit from the hemostatic benefits of Erythropoietin.
