Mrs. Bigda, a 60-year old woman, was brought to the hospital after falling to the pavement. You are doing the initial screening at the hospital, and note that she has suffered from nausea, fatigue, and memory loss. She has a history of chronic hypertension and diabetes. Blood testing was performed. The preliminary diagnosis provided by other members of your team was late-stage glomerulonephritis and she may have to undergo dialysis.

Finally, you explain to her that she may need to be prescribed medications and supplements because hemodialysis will put her at risk for anemia and osteoporosis. Why is she at risk for those conditions and what are the medications and supplements that will be prescribed?
