When polycystic kidney disease develops, it will finally lead to kidney
failure, and many symptoms will appear at the same time. Renal anemia is one of
the most common symptoms among all.
When the kidney function begins to decline, the Erythropoietin (EPO) secreted
by the kidneys in the patients decreases, and will not meet the needs of the
body, and this is one of the causes of anemia. Besides, in kidney failure
patients of PKD, there are lots of toxins deposited in the body, which reduces
the life span of the red blood cells. The other reasons are as follows:
Kidney failure patients may not be able to take enough nutritions, vitamins,
proteins, Iron etc.
Haemorrhagia
Dialysis may take away some blood, or frequent blood tests
Renal anemia may go with the renal impairment degree. For treatment of renal
anemia, of course the first is to treat the kidney problem. Let the kidneys
secrete more Epo so it can meet the needs of the body. For kidney failure caused
by pkd, the kidney function can be improved by shrinking the cysts, reduce the
pressure caused by the enlarging cysts, and repair the damaged kidney cells. The
recommended treatment for it is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
Medication treatment:
R-HuEPO injection: after the injection, patient's hemoglobin can be obviously
increased, and anemia get improved.
Iron supplements
Supplements of nutrition
Blood transfusion, it can correct anemia in a short time, but for some
patients, blood transfusion may increase the risk for infection, or other
responses, so the doctors need to check the patient's condition, and choose the
right methods to correct anemia.
Different conditions may need different treatments, so before any action, do
ask for your doctors suggestions.
