Anemia is a symptom that almost happens to every patient with Renal Failure.
With the progression of kidney function deterioration, Anemia aggravates.
Renal Failure is identified as deterioration of kidney function that is
caused by various chronic kidney diseases. Ordinarily, the kidney is responsible
for secreting erythropoietin, which can stimulate the production of red blood
cells by stem cells in bone marrow. But in patient with Renal Failure, damaged
kidney affects the production of erythropoietin and its affinity with oxygen. In
this condition, utilization of oxygen by hemoglobin increase relatively and
ischemia in the kidney is relatively mild; resulting in stimulation of
erythropoietin production decreases.
Anemia also can be caused by toxins (some metabolic waste). Patients with
Renal Failure have decreased glomerular filtration rate, that is to say, some
toxic metabolic waste can not be excreted by damaged kidney. Some toxic
metabolic waste can inhibit bone marrow to produce red blood cells leading to
hematopoietic disorder.
Sometimes Renal Failure can cause folic acid insufficiency. Increased folic
acid-binding protein in patients with Renal Failure who have Uremia also can
decrease the amount of cellular folic acid. Without enough folic acid,
production of red blood cells will not be enough.
Anemia is a chronic health problem which may cause further health problems
like weakness, gastrointestinal health problem and mental problem. Treating
anemia is very important and necessary, especially for patient with Renal
Failure.
Anemia can be relieved by treating Renal Failure and taking folic acid
supplements or iron supplements. You can consult us on line for treatment of
