Uremia patients will suffer from varied degrees of anemia, particularly for mild and severe anemia. Well, what causes anemia and why uremia patients have anemia?

Anemia in uremia patients is mainly caused by the following conditions:

1. reduced red blood cells

Kidneys are important organs that are responsible for producing red blood cells. However, kidneys in uremia have been damaged severely, which makes reduced erythropoietin. This affects the generation of red blood cells. Decreased red blood cells count is the main reason of anemia in uremia patients.

2. dyserythropoietic anaemia

Uremia patients often are associated with deficient folic acid, iron and protein, which affects the production of red blood cells. Since the raw materials are not enough, problem of red blood cell production is another reason of anemia in uremia.

3. Red blood cells are damaged.

Since toxic substances in the body cannot be removed out of the body timely, they will accumulate in the body. These toxic substances not only inhibit the production of red blood cells but also damage red blood cells.

4. Bleeding causes anemia.

Uremia patients may suffer from hemorrhagic tendency due to various factors like nose bleeding and hemorrhage of digestive tract. These symptoms can lead to anemia directly.

5. lack of folic acid and iron

Frequently taking a blood sample will cause the loss of iron. Iron can be supplemented through diet to alleviate anemia. The loss of folic acid during dialysis can lead to macrocytic anemia.

The above are causes of anemia in uremia patients. To relieve anemia from the root, you should repair damaged kidneys and improve renal function by Chinese medicine. If you have interest in this topic, you can leave a message to pkdtreatment169@gmail.com or consult our online doctor directly.
