The nurse is administering an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent to a client with renal failure and anemia. What is the maximum hemoglobin level the nurse would want to assess when reviewing this client's lab results?
Homework Answers
Renal failure is associated with the dysfunction of kidneys.
Renal failure could occur due to trauma to kidneys, kidney stones,
hypertension, diabetes and infections.
Renal failure results in variety of symptoms like nausea, vomiting,
discolouration of skin, electrolyte imbalance, fatigue, headache,
confusion, anaemia.
Renal failure results in low or no production of erythropoietin by kidneys. Erythropoietin is a hormone that stimulates the process of RBC production known as erythropoiesis. Due to low levels of erythropoietin, the number of red blood cells reduces resulting in anaemia.
Anemia resulting from renal failure is treated with
erythropoietin stimulating agents to increase tge RBC count. The
goal of therapy is maintain haemoglobin levels around 11.5 g/dl. So
the maximum hemoglobin level the nurse would want to assess when
reviewing this client's lab results is 11.5 g/dl
