Incorrect. Severe anemia in chronic renal failure is characterized by low hemoglobin levels, not elevated levels.
Incorrect. Chronic renal failure can lead to decreased red blood cell production, resulting in a reduced red blood cell count.

Incorrect. Chronic renal failure is not typically associated with elevated platelet counts; in fact, it can lead to platelet dysfunction and an increased risk of bleeding.QUESTIONS
