Anemia in CKD Treatment
Anemia in CKD Treatment by Nephrologists (EPO & Iron Therapy) in Arizona
What Is Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease?
Anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common complication that occurs when damaged kidneys cannot produce enough erythropoietin, a hormone essential for red blood cell production. Without this hormone, the body has fewer oxygen-carrying cells, often leaving patients feeling exhausted and unwell.
Symptoms of Anemia in CKD
The most common symptoms of anemia are fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. These signs can significantly reduce energy levels, concentration, and the ability to perform daily activities. Because anemia can progress gradually, many patients may not recognize the symptoms until they begin to affect their quality of life. Our team is skilled in identifying anemia early to provide timely and effective treatment.
Targeted Treatment with Epoetin and Iron Infusion
Treatment for anemia in CKD focuses on restoring healthy red blood cell production. This often includes epoetin injections to stimulate the bone marrow and iron infusion therapy to provide the necessary building blocks for red blood cells. Our integrated care system makes treatment convenient and practical, helping you regain energy, reduce symptoms, and improve overall well-being.
