are responsible for reabsorp­

They also play a key
role in regulating calcium homeostasis by converting
25­hydroxyvitamin D to the active metabolite 1,25­
dihydroxyvitamin D (p. 1126). Failure of this process
contributes to the pathogenesis of hypocalcaemia and
bone disease which occurs in chronic kidney disease

Erythropoietin which cells?

loc?

Back 4

Fibroblast­like cells that lie in the intersti­tium of the renal cortex are responsible for production of erythropoietin, . .

which in turn is required for produc­
tion of red blood cells

Front 6

reg of erythpoitin secr?

Back 6

Erythropoietin synthesis is
regulated by oxygen tension; anaemia and hypoxia
increase production, whereas polycythaemia and hyper­oxia inhibit it

Front 7

why anaemia in CKD?

Back 7

Failure of erythropoietin production
plays an important role in the pathogenesis of anaemia
in CKD.
