Question

Use of an artificial kidney during hemodialysis may result
(a) Nitrogenous waste build-up inthe body
(b) Non-elimination of excess potassium ions
(c) Reduced absorption of calcium ions from gastro-intestinal tract
(d) Reduced RBC production
Which of the following options is the most appropriate?
(1) (a) and (b) are correct
(2) (b) and (c) are correct
(3) (c) and (d) are correct
(4) (a) and (d) are correct

Answer 1

Answer:

3)

Explanation:

Pls mark it as the brainliest

Answer 2

Answer is option "3"

Explanation:

• The statements a and b are incorrect because dialysis eliminates urea and potassium from the body whereas, c and d 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. RBCs production will be reduced, due to reduced erythropoietin hormone.
• Hence, the correct answer is '(c) and (d) are correct'
