Anemia and Chronic Kidney Disease

Anemia is a common symptom of CKD.Moderate or severe chronical renal failure patients are usually accompanied with anemia when the nephron is seriously damaged and erythropoietin is reduced, and they may have the symptoms of weakness, dizziness, look pale and so on.
If you are suffering from chronic kidney disease, you may develop anemia over time. This happens because your kidneys are damaged and are not functioning as they should.
Damaged kidneys are unable to produce the hormone erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to create red blood cells. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which delivers oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Fewer red blood cells mean less oxygen in your blood, and that could result in anemia.
This section discusses some of the causes of kidney disease and provides an overview of anemia related to chronic kidney disease and its management.

Treatments
It is reported that 85%-90% of kidney diseases result from inappropriate immune response and low immunity. The reason why we human being can be free from the attack of bacteria or virus is that we have strong immune system.

However, once our immune system is disturbed, antigens can combine antibodies easily so as to form immune complexes. These complexes can build up in any part of our body to cause damage via blood circulation. Kidney disease, such as IgA Nephropathy, Lupus Nephritis and Purpura Nephritis, occurs as a consequence of the immune complex deposition in kidney. Based on this, many kidney experts work together to create Immunotherapy in recent years.

Immunotherapy is a great alternative treatment for kidney disease especially which is due to autoimmune disease. As a combination of herbal medicines and western medicines, this therapy shows outstanding therapeutic effects on not only treating kidney disease but also regulating patients’ immune system.
