Ca level increase could be attributed to her hyperparathyroidism (too much PTH secondary to the kidney failure). The kidneys are damaged, so they are not making enough Erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells. As a result, the bone marrow makes fewer red blood cells, causing anemia -> This is why the patient is receiving Epoetin alfa. BUN and Creatinine are normally removed by the kidneys, but since the kidneys are not functioning, these levels in the blood increase. References Community of Residence
