Anemia is a frequent complication among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), primarily because CKD disrupts the kidneys’ ability to produce sufficient amounts of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production. Without adequate levels of EPO, red blood cell counts drop, leading to anemia. Symptoms of anemia, such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and difficulty concentrating, can significantly impact quality of life.
Our team is well-versed in the treatment and management of anemia related to CKD. Our nephrology specialists conduct thorough evaluations to assess each patient’s hemoglobin levels, iron stores, and overall health, creating individualized treatment plans to manage anemia effectively. This may include EPO-stimulating agents, iron supplementation, dietary adjustments, and other supportive therapies to restore red blood cell levels. With compassionate care and a proactive approach, We Care Nephrology is dedicated to improving patients’ energy levels and quality of life, addressing anemia’s root causes, and supporting optimal kidney health in every way possible.
