Question
Chapter 10, Problem 27CT
Summary Introduction
To review:
The renal hormone whose deficiency can cause low red blood cells (RBCs) in a patient on kidney dialysis.
Introduction:
The primary function of the kidneys is to remove impurities from the blood, like the nitrogenous waste. Dialysis is a medical technique to remove the impurities from the blood when the kidneys cannot function properly. One of the complications of the kidney diseases is anemia or low RBC count.

Why do people with hypertension keep a low-salt (low- sodium) diet? Explain further.
Compression sleeves or socks are used to help reduce swelling in individuals who have problems with lymphatic flow. This increases the hydrostatic pressure on the interstitial fluid. How would this reduce swelling?
Describe the effects on the lymphatic, cardiovascular and renal systems.
How would the endocrine system would respond to these changes?
An increased erythropoietin (EPO) output by the kidneys would lead to all of the following except
Increased blood osmolarity
Increased RBC production

- During a state of low blood volume and decreased extracellular sodium level (as in cardiac failure), which one of the following occurs? 1) B. Aldosterone is produced by the kidneys, leading to the release of renin, which increases kidney reabsorption of sodium. 2) D. Antidiuretic hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates the production of aldosterone by the adrenal gland, which increases reabsorption of sodium and water retention. 3) A. Renin is produced by the kidneys and is converted to angiotensin, which induces the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal gland, which in turn increases reabsorption of sodium and retention of water. 4) C. Renin is produced by the adrenal glands, leading to vasoconstriction and production of antidiuretic hormone by the pituitary gland, which increases fluid volume by causing water retention. no references, just homeworkarrow_forwardIn response to severely low blood pressure, ADH is secreted.
