Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 and Anemia

Why do patients with chronic kidney disease have anemia? On the basis of GFR, chronic kidney disease can be divided into 5 stages. In stage 3 of chronic kidney disease, GFR falls to 30~59 ml/min. Serum creatinine in stage 3 is 186-442umol/l. With damage develops, in chronic kidney disease stage, kinds of symptoms have come out such as hematuria and proteinuria with the renal basilar membrane damaged. In addition, anemia and nephrotic hypertension come into being as well. When anemia comes out, patients will look pale, hard to breathe and loss of appetite, which indicates that patients must take effective measure at once. To treat it better, firstly, let’s know about two main reasons:
1. The generation of red blood cells decreases. The common factors are the decreased generation of EPO, the function of inhibiting factor which inhibit the generation of red blood cells, insufficiency of vitamin and trace elements. In stage 3 chronic kidney disease, renal secretion function is damaged. Accordingly, EPO will also be damaged, thus causing decreased amount of red blood cells.
2. On the other hand, since renal failure comes into being in stage 3 chronic kidney disease, kidney functions are lost, one of which is to filter toxins such as creatinine, urea acid and urea nitrogen, etc. Since the kidney function is lost, such toxins will accumulate in the blood, which will lead to the insufficiency of blood and oxygen to the red blood cells, so the lifespan of red blood cells are shortened.
After we know the reasons why there is anemia in stage 3 kidney disease, we can think of measures to treat it. On one hand, we should clear away the toxins and on the other hand, we should repair the damaged cells in the kidney.
Firstly, since that creatinine in stage 3 is 186-442umol/l, it is necessary to have blood purification first of all, which can lay a foundation for the repair of the damaged cells in the kidney.
Secondly, we should repair the damaged cells in the kidney, which play the roles of secreting such as EPO. We can achieve this in our Hospital with the help of Chinese Medicine, which contains active materials and can repair the damaged cells by relieving insufficiency of blood and oxygen, which can reviving the secretion of EPO, thus turning red blood cells amount into normal and diminishing anemia from root.
