How Much Do You Know about Renal Anemia

Many patients think that having a good rest is enough when they have the symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, palpitation and shortness of breaths after activities because they do not have much knowledge of renal anemia. Then What are the reasons for renal anemia? There are mainly three reasons of renal anemia.

1.When the renal function is damaged, the metabolic wastes can not be discharged out of our body normally so they just stay in the blood. These wastes can damage red blood cells directly and shorten the life of red blood cells. Living in such an environment, the red blood cells can not live for a long time. If one gets transfusion, the undamaged renal parenchyma’s function of hematopoiesis can also be greatly affected.

2.The metabolic wastes which stay in the blood circulation can affect the function of platelet and clotting factors, making patients to bleed more easily including bleeding of epistaxis, gingivae, stomach and intestine, which greatly aggravates the anemia.

3.Because of the damage of parenchyma, kidney can not excrete erythrogenin normally, which greatly influences the hematopoietic function of marrow.

Besides the above, renal anemia also has relation with the early symptom of gastrointestinal tract of renal insufficiency because nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea can make patients malnourished and in turn lead to persistent anemia.
