Even tho the first gasses weren't that effective…

produce red blood cells]. When the kidney is severely damaged, its ability to make the erythropoietin hormone decreases. This would show on the CBC test as a low red blood cell [RBC] count, otherwise known as anemia. Potassium may be higher and bicarbonate levels may be lower when you have CKD. This would usually lead to metabolic acidosis. Blood urea nitrogen [BUN] percentages will become elevated in kidney failure as urea accumulates into toxic levels. Urea is a byproduct of protein breakdown…
