How to Alleviate Anemia in Stage 4 Kidney Failure

Anemia is a common symptoms of kidney disease. Patients with anemia also suffer from some adverse effects for patients with stage 4 kidney failure. How to deal with anemia concerns patients and their family members most.

Anemia may develop due to inadequate synthesis of erythropoietin by the kidneys, and may worsen as CKD progresses. People with diabetes may present with anemia of CKD earlier than people without diabetes.

Evaluation of anemia includes:

Complete blood count (CBC)

Iron studies (serum iron, total iron binding capacity [TIBC], percent transferrin saturation [TSAT], and serum ferritin)

Peripheral blood smear

Uncomplicated anemia of CKD is usually normocytic and normochromic. Hemoglobin is the preferred test to assess and monitor for anemia in CKD.

Prior to therapy, other treatable causes of anemia must be ruled out. Iron deficiency should be corrected. Both oral and parenteral iron preparations are available.

Therapy may include erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) to increase red blood cell production and prevent the need for transfusion.

A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) black box warning for ESAs was released as a result of recent trials, which showed an increased risk for stroke, blood clot, heart attack, and death when ESAs were prescribed to achieve higher hemoglobin goals (> 11 g/dL). FDA recommends providers consider starting ESA therapy only when the hemoglobin level is less than 10 g/dL and both of the following apply:
Rate of hemoglobin decline shows the patient may require a red blood cell transfusion and reduction of risk of alloimmunization and/or other red blood cell transfusion-related risk is a goal.

The main function of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are as following:
This therapy can activate blood circulation and dredge channels. Micronized Chinese medicine has a better effect on activating blood, dredging channels, dilating kidney arteries as well as improving microcirculation and activating renal inherent cells function.

This therapy can remove blood stasis and eliminating toxins in body. This means that micronized Chinese medicine can degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) and eliminate apoptosis cells, which can create a better internal environment. This is also the key of the whole treatment process.

This therapy also can repair and rebuild. Active substances of Chinese medicine can not act on fibrous tissue. But once there is remained kidney function and healthy kidney tissue, micronized Chinese medicine can play its role in repairing and rebuilding healthy kidney tissue and kidney function.
