How to Treat Anemia in Chronic Renal Failure

Over 80 percent of people with Chronic Renal Failure may experience anemia, which becomes more serious with the progressive decline of GFR or kidney function. So, why people with Chronic Renal Failure suffer from anemia and how to treat it?
Causes
1. The primary cause of anemia in Chronic Renal Failure is the insufficient production of the erythropoietin which is a kind of hormone responsible for the production of red blood cells. However, as the impaired kidneys can not produce adequate erythropoietin, an inadequate number of oxgen-carrying red blood cells are produced.
2. Irion deficiency is also a common cause of anemia in Chronic Renal Failure. It can cause a reduction in formation of red cell heamoglobin thus resulting in anemia. Iron deficiency is mainly attributable to poor appetite and insufficient foods consumption.
3. Shortened life span of red blood cells
In Chronic Renal Failure, a large amount of uremic toxins can reduce half-life of circulating red blood cells.
Treatment for Anemia in Chronic Renal Failure
At present, take erythropoietin is a major treatment. It plays a vital role in relieving anemia. However, it can only meet the body needs of erythropoietin, but can not make the native kidneys recover the normal production ability of erythropoietin. Also, long-term erythropoietin treatment can cause a series of complications including aggravation of hypertension, headache, pure red blood aplasia etc.
As the primary cause of anemia in Chronic Renal Failure is damaged kidneys, the key to treat anemia is to restore the kidneys and make them recover their normal secretion ability as before. If so, the patients will be able to avoid dependency on erythropoietin injection.
