Q143 / 180 · NEET 2019 (All India) · Zoology
Use of an artificial kidney during hemodialysis may result in:
Nitrogenous waste build-up in the body
Non-elimination of excess potassium ions
Reduced absorption of calcium ions from gastro-intestinal tract
Reduced RBC production
Which of the following option is the most appropriate?
Nitrogenous waste build-up in the body
Non-elimination of excess potassium ions
Reduced absorption of calcium ions from gastro-intestinal tract
Reduced RBC production
Which of the following option is the most appropriate?
- Aand are correct
- Band are correct
- Correct answerCand are correct
- Dand are correct
Solution
Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from the blood. It leads to the elimination of nitrogenous waste that builds up in the body due to metabolism. The dialysis also removes the excess potassium from the body.
Hemodialysis reduces the calcium ions from the GI tract and also reduces the production of RBC.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
