| Use of an artificial kidney during hemodialysis may result in: |
| [a] Nitrogenous waste build-up in the body |
| [b] Non-elimination of excess potassium ion-. |
| [c] Reduced absorption of calcium ions from intestinal tract |
| [d] Reduced RBC production |
| Which of the following options is the most appropriate? |
A) [a] and [b] are correct
B) [b] and [c] are correct
C) [c] and [d] are correct
D) [a] and [d] are correct
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[a] and [b] statements are incorrect because dialysis eliminates urea and potassium from the. body whereas, [c] and [d] are correct. As phosphate ions are correct. As phosphate ions are eliminated during dialysis, along with that calcium ions are also eliminated. So, there will be reduced absorption of calcium ions from gastrointestinal tract. RBC production will be reduced, due to reduced, erythropoietin hormone.
