Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 33CAQ
What happens to the rate of RBC production in a patient on dialysis with total renal failure? What could be given to the patient to counteract such a problem? (Hint: You might want to check Table 9.2 on p. 330 for help with this one.)

Why do people with hypertension keep a low-salt (low- sodium) diet? Explain further.
An increased erythropoietin (EPO) output by the kidneys would lead to all of the following except
Increased blood osmolarity
Increased RBC production
Increased blood viscosity
Increased hypoxemia
