what would make your hemoglobin drop and kidney's fail in one day?

Answer 1

Various scenarios possible. Acute blood loss such as a bleed into the bowel could cause acute renal failure due to low blood pressure and the blood count would go down. What I think you might be thinking of is acute haemolysis -when the red cells fragment and release their contents into the bloodstream- this causes acute renal failure. Renal failure of any cause eventually causes anaemia but this would take some weeks to occur

Answer 3

If you have kidney failure or insufficiency, most likely your kidneys does not produce the hormone erythropoeitin. EPO or erythropoietin is a glycoprotein hormone that is a cytokine for erythrocyte (red blood cell) precursors in the bone marrow. It is produced by the kidney, and is the hormone regulating red blood cell production. If you have kidney insufficiency, there is a low production of erythropoietin thus this will lead to anemia or drop in the hemoglobin. There is a big correlation between kidney failure and drop in hemoglobin.

Thus, patient's with renal insufficiency are prescribed with iron supplement or erythropoietin injections or in severe cases blood transfusions.

Answer 4

Significant blood loss and severe dehydration....most likely but there could be other things I suppose, though none come to mind

Answer 5

It could be tons of things. Watch House on Fox :)

Answer 6

anemia, diabetes, other organ failure besides just kidney failure, could be a number of things

Answer 7

internal bleeding
