EPO increase weight ?

Hi all,

My mom has EPO injection for around 3 weeks now, she has put on weight for around 1.5kg, just wondering is the weight increase caused by EPO and whether this is normal ?

FYI, my mom has ferriprox around 2 months, I don't know whether ferriprox is the reason behind of the weight increase or not. If anyone have any thoughts/comments of this, please share with me. Thanks in advance.
