The
kidneys produce hormones that help build strong bones
and
help form red blood
cells.
The kidney contains
scattered cells that secrete erythropoietin,
a hormone essential for
production of red blood cells. |

"Anemia of prematurity occurs in
premature infants at 2 to 6 weeks of age and results
from diminished erythropoietin response to declining
hematocrit levels. ... low serum levels of
erythropoietin (EPO)
Erythropoietin, or its alternative
erythropoetin or EPO, is a
glycoprotein
hormone that
controls
erythropoiesis, or
red blood cell production. It is a
cytokine
for
erythrocyte (red
blood cell) precursors in the
bone marrow. Also
called hematopoietin or hemopoietin,
it is produced by the
kidney, and is the
hormone that
regulates
red blood cell
production. It also has other known biological
functions. For example, erythropoietin plays an
important role in the brain's response to neuronal
injury.[1]
EPO is also involved in the wound healing
process" |

"The red
blood cells become round-like, rather than hourglass
shaped (an exaggeration of configuration. The change in
shape is caused from the outer membrane becoming weakened, losing its
ability to hold its elasticity." |

on 2-butoxyethanol
NFPA Ratings: Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0
Label Hazard Warning:
DANGER! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN.
CAUSES EYE
IRRITATION. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM,
BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS,
KIDNEYS, LIVER &
LYMPHOID SYSTEM. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID
& VAPOR. MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION TO SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
| Says the EPA
/ CA joint janitorial study:
"Glycol alkyl
ethers are commonly used as solvents. 2-Butoxy Ethanol is one of
the most toxic of the glycol ethers. You should use
products containing butoxyethanol with extreme care. It is a
poison that can easily absorb through your skin to harm you.
When working with it, always wear gloves
and goggles and be sure the you have enough ventilation."
More probably exposure is vapors in one's eyes ... but NOT
ingestion as is suspected by some MSDSs |
|
|
Suspect a host of autoimmune issues
Exposure looks like the flu ...
flatulence with diarrhea ... sometimes a cough ... 'the sniffles'
Clues to anemia: 'the chills'
rapid heart beat, gasping for breath ... pale
*
PLUS depression, headaches, short
term memory loss... personality changes ... suicidal tendencies |

Medical Surveillance: check Consider the points of attack (liver, kidneys, lymphoid system, skin,
blood, eyes, respiratory system) in placement and periodic physical
examinations.

2-Butoxyethanol
causes acute hemolytic anemia in rats
In F344
male rats, 2-butoxyethanol
causes severe acute hemolytic anemia resulting in significant increase in the
concentration of free plasma hemoglobin. Secondary to the hemolytic effects,
2-butoxyethanol
also caused hemoglobinuria as well as histopathologic changes in the liver and
kidney.
*Notes
to Physician:
Administration of Sodium bicarbonate may be of value to treat acidosis.
Monitor
kidney and liver function and arterial blood gases closely.
