Treatments for Anemia
Anemia is a shortage of oxygen-carrying red blood cells that can happen with chronic kidney disease. Anemia is common in people with kidney disease because the kidneys make a hormone (erythropoietin (EPO)) that tells the bone marrow to make red blood cells. You can learn more about symptoms of anemia by reading Symptoms of Kidney Disease.
The good news is, there are treatments that can help give you back some of your energy: iron and EPO.
