Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) are medications which stimulate the bone marrow to make red blood cells. [1] They are used to treat anemia due to end stage kidney disease, chemotherapy, major surgery, or certain treatments in HIV/AIDS.

Immune mediated hemolytic anemia (direct Coombs test is positive) Autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
