What element relieves hypoxia?

How is Hypoxia cured?
Hypoxia can be treated with oxygen therapy
What is the function of erythropoietin in response to hypoxia?
Erythropoietin triggers more red blood cells to be produced in the bone marrow. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, therefore if there are more red blood cells than more oxygen can be exchanged throughout the body decreasing lack of oxygen (hypoxia). So in hypoxia the kidneys produce and increased amount of erythropoietin.
Hypoxia is a particular issue for mountain climbers What is your body short on if you have hypoxia?
Oxygen
What is the life threatening consequence of hypoxia?
Hypoxia means lack of adequate oxygenation. The consequence of sustained hypoxia is, eventually, cellular death, followed by death of the entire organism.
