Anemia Symptoms And Treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients

Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by reduced erythropoietin hormone production, which signals the bone marrow to make red blood cells; symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest pain, and treatment options include iron supplements, erythropoietin injections, red blood cell transfusions, vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements, and dietary adjustments to increase iron, B12, and folic acid intake while managing sodium and phosphorus levels.
