Desirudin.  It's a thrombin inhibitor.  Apparently, it it causes
elevated erythropoietin levels.

I think the reference is:

	"Current Concepts: Erythropoietin Therapy"
	The New England Journal of Medicine
	March 27, 1997 -- Volume 336, Number 13
	Lawrence T. Goodnough, Terri G. Monk, Gerald L. Andriole
