Answer #1

Hi,

Is this for school or personal knowledge?

If it’s for school, I’d look through your books and notes since many things can happen, and your teacher may be looking for a specific answer.

However, I found this online:

“I believe it causes the kidneys to secrete more erthyropoietin, a hormone that stimulates the synthesis of red blood cells in bone marrow.”
