Use of artificial kidney during hemodialysis may result in: [2019] (a) Nitrogenous waste build-up in the body. (b) Non- elimination of excess potassium ions. (c) Reduced absorption of calcium ions from gastro- intestinal tract. (d) Reduced RBC production.
Option A. As phosphate ions are also eliminated during dialysis, calcium ions are eliminated along with it. So, there will be reduced absorption of calcium ions from the gastrointestinal tract. RBC production is also reduced due to reduced erythropoietin hormone which is produced by the glomerulus
