what will happens to the red blood cells when the patient has a chronic renal failure?

Answer 1

The kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin which stimulates the production of red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, their production of erythropoietin diminishes and thus the amount of RBCs gets lower and lower.
The typically poor nutrition of an end-stage renal patient doesn't help the situation very much, either.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Hemopoietin,is produced by the kidney, and is the hormone regulating red blood cell production.In chronic renal failure less or no Hemopoietin is produced resulting in dyshemopoitec anemia which can be severe . Recombant DNA synthesised Hemopoitetin available in market needs to be constantly administered to facilitate bone marrow to produce RBC

Answer 4

Chronic renal failure (CRF, or "chronic kidney failure", CKF, or "chronic kidney disease", CKD) is a slowly progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years and defined as an abnormally low glomerular filtration rate, which is usually determined indirectly by the creatinine level in blood serum.

CRF that leads to severe illness and requires some form of renal replacement therapy (such as dialysis) is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Answer 5

it will decrease. remember that 80-90% of our erythropoietin (hormone that causes RBC production) are produced by the kidney. that is why anemias are common in CRF patients

Answer 6

rbc count will decrease underlying an anemic state.
