Sick and tired.
Severe anaemia can blight the lives of people with kidney disease. While effective treatment is available, its provision is patchy across the country. It has been found that: In people with renal anaemia, haemoglobin can fall to 4g/dl. Injections of erythropoietin (EPO) can increase haemoglobin levels. Patients are often unaware of what their haemoglobin levels are and should be. Early treatment with EPO can slow progression of renal disease.
