The effectiveness of erythropoietin therapy in the patient with renal disease can be confirmed by which laboratory finding?
A) Neutrophils 40-60%
B) Leukocyte 6,000/mm3
C) Platelets 50,000/mm3
D) Erythrocytes 4.4 million/mm3
D) Erythrocytes 4.4 million/mm3
Explanation: A) In individuals with renal disease, there may be a lack in the production of erythropoietin, which stimulates the release and maturation of red blood cells (erythrocytes). This lack of erythropoietin would cause anemia (low red blood cells and thus a low hematocrit). Erythropoietin may be administered to aid in the treatment of anemia from renal disease. The neutrophils, other leukocytes, and platelets are not affected by erythropoietin.
