Why are renal failure patients undergoing dialysis at risk for anemia and osteoporosis? What medications or supplements could you give them to prevent these problems?

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following hormones production may be impacted in a renal failure, patient with anemia. As answer choice A we have to B we have Gastrin C. We have er B we have now let's go over each of our answer choices beginning by answer choice. A we have calls to kind. Well, this is going to be a hormone responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein. Now it is not going to be affected in patients with renal failure and anemia. So we can cancel it out. Then we have B which is gastrin. Now, Gastrin is going to be stimulating the release of HCL in the stomach. This is not going to have anything to do with renal failure and anemia. So we can cancel it out. Then we have B which is growing and this is going to be the satiety hormone or just the hunger hormone. It is going to be stimulating appetite, which is not going to be affected in patients with renal failure and anemia. So we can also cancel it out. And finally we have C which is erythro pointing. Now this hormone is going to be stimulating the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells. Now, we know that erythro erythropoid is going to be secreted by the kidneys and these kidneys are going to be affected in patients with renal failure. Therefore, when we have patients with renal failure, we're going to have a decrease secretion of erythropoid. And because we have less erythropoid, we're going to have an impacted count of red blood cells eventually leading to anemia. Therefore, answer choice. C erythropoid is going to be the final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
