Why Amemia Appears in Renal Failure Patients


 Why does amemia appear in renal failure patients? When suffering from anemia, renal failure patients will have loss of appetite, the face look pale and don’t look fresh as well. It can be caused by the following two reasons:
  1. Kidney has many functions such as filtration, secreting, and so on. It can secrete EPO. The generation of EPO is not enough when kidney fails. EPO is the main hormone which can promote the generation of red blood cells. When kidney is damaged seriously, EPO will not generate enough red blood cells, thus causing renal anemia.
  2. With renal failure develops, there will be more toxins retention in the blood, thus creating a bad inner environment for the growing of red blood cells. In this case, anemia will worsen. Usually, anemia takes place when kidney disease patients are in renal failure stage, generally stage 3 at least, which indicates the damage in the kidney is serious indeed.
  How to treat anemia in renal failure?
  1. blood purification
  Blood purifications can help clear away the toxins such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urea acid, and so on, which can help create a good inner environment for the next treatment and the survival of red blood cell.
  2. Chinese Medicine

  In Chinese Medicine, there is active material which can improve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney, supply with nutrition, thus helping repair the damaged cells in the kidney and revive its function. Some herbs in this prescription can clear up immune complex and inflammatory factors so that these factors won't further damage the kidneys. As we know, glomerulonephritis is characterized by deposition of immune complex in glomeruali.
