Erythropoietin is a hormone produced by the kidney. When the patient is in chronic renal failure, loss of this hormone will result in:
1.   diminished immunologic function with fewer white blood cells.
2.   elevated lipid levels in the bloodstream, contributing to accelerated atherosclerosis.
3.   anemia because of the diminished number of red blood cells being produced.
4.   hypertension because of the increased, concentrated blood volume.
