Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypoxic hypoxia results in decreased oxygen availability in the tissues, which triggers the release of erythropoietin (EPO) from the kidneys. EPO stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, therefore, people suffering from hypoxic hypoxia will have an elevated plasma concentration of EPO and a higher hematocrit (the percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells). However, arterial $\text{P}_{\text{o}_2}$ values will be lower in people suffering from hypoxic hypoxia compared to normal individuals. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
