Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of the obstruction of the renal arteries on the person’s hematocrit value.
Introduction:
The obstruction of the renal arteries causes decrease in the value of the hematocrit value, due to the decrease in blood cells number and volume. The injection of the erythropoietin hormone causes the increase in the synthesis of blood cells. This increases the hematocrit value.
