At stage 4, kidneys are damaged severely, and impaired kidneys are unable to produce enough EPO, leading to renal anemia easily. Anemia can induce fatigue, dizziness, headache, sleeping problems, and so on. To overcome these problems, treatments should be adopted.
Before choosing treatment, patients should make clear the underlying cause of renal anemia. In addition to EPO deficiency, anemia may also be due to lack of iron. This is because a kidney-friendly diet plan for Stage 4 CKD patients should limit the intake of protein. Iron often exists in high-protein foods. Thereby, limited protein intake can cause iron deficiency easily. If uncontrolled actively, anemia may happen due to iron deficiency.
According to the above analysis, we would like to alleviate your anemia from the following aspects.
1. Eat more iron-containing foods
If Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease patients’ anemia is due to iron, iron-containing foods can help manage this problem. For example, bean, pakchoi, celery, kelp, and so on, are rich in iron. Consult the doctor online to determine what foods are suitable for you.
2. Take correct medicines
EPO therapy and chalybeate are two medicines used commonly to ease patients’ anemia. EPO can stimulate the body to produce more red blood cells, while chalybeate can supplement iron for the production of red blood cells. According to stage 4 kidney disease patients’ medical condition, they can choose these medicines to ease their problem.
3. Improve kidney condition
Low kidney function is the root cause of renal anemia. Only if patients’ kidney damage is reversed successfully, can patients get rid of their anemia completely. At present, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Clear Blood Pollution Therapy can help treat stage 4 chronic kidney disease effectively.
