Cause of Anemia: Chronic Kidney Disease
Advertisements

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common cause of anemia, as the kidneys play a crucial role in the production of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production. When kidney function declines, EPO production is reduced, leading to anemia.

Treatment for anemia related to CKD often involves addressing the underlying kidney disease, as well as managing anemia symptoms. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) may be prescribed to boost red blood cell production, and iron supplements can help ensure adequate iron levels.

Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood tests can help detect and manage anemia in individuals with CKD. (5)
