How to Treat Anemia and Elevate Hemoglobin Levels in Chronic Renal Failure

Many Chronic Renal Failure patients are suffering from anemia and very low hemoglobin levels caused by the decreased secretion of EPO by kidneys. Here are some tips can help the patients with these problems.
▪ Nutrient supplementation
The production of hemoglobin needs a myriad of nutrients. However, in Chronic Renal Failure, the patients may experience poor appetite so they can not get nutrients intake like iron, floic acid, etc. Additionally, as multiple vital organs are involved, it can cause mineral metabolic disorders. These nutrients can aid the production of hemoglobin mainly including iron, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, floic acid and vitamin C. Here are the richest food sources the aforementioned nutrients.
Vitamin C: Guava, brussel sprouts, papayas, blackcurrants, cabbage, broccoli, strawberries, lychees
Iron: cereals, green the leafy vegetables, tomato paste.
Vitamin B6: Whole grains, oatmeal, tuna, avocado.
Folic acid: corn, bok choy, asparagus, pineapple, raspberry, strawberry.
▪ Herbs
Herbs are rich in nutrients. They can enhance immunity and improve the health of red blood cells. These three herbs including withania, Dong Quai and nettle leaf have much benefits in improving hemoglobin levels. Also some activate substances can stimulate the DNA replication of impaired kidney tissues and regenerate renal functional cells. Consequently, the patients will have a remarkable improvement in renal function and the kidneys will produce more EPO than before.
▪ Optimal treatment
The underlying cause of low hemoglobin in Chronic Renal Failure is attributed to impaired kidney function. Therefore, the treatment should focus on restoring the damaged kidneys. Immunotherapy is the optimal treatment in restoring damaged cells, tissues and organs. Once the kidney structure is restored, the kidneys will recover its normal secretory function and produce more EPO. Therefore, the hemoglobin levels will rise up, thus relieving the anemia.
