Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease

Anemia is a common symptom as chronic kidney disease develops especially when it develops into advanced stage which is accompanied by little urine, proteinuria, hematuira, high blood pressure and so on. When patients are suffering from anemia, they usually look pale.
Why does anemia appear in the advanced stage? Kidney has function of generating EPO. However, in chronic kidney disease stage, the renal function is damaged, so the generation of EPO is influenced, thus causing the reduce of red blood cells and in this case, anemia comes into being.
On the other hand, kidney has a function of filtrating toxins. Since the function of kidney is damaged, there will be more toxins which accumulate into kidney. Such toxic materials can damage red blood cells, thus causing anemia as well.
How to treat or solve anemia? As we mentioned above, anemia is caused by the damage of renal function or the damage of renal intrinsic cells. So we should treat from this and repair the damaged intrinsic cells. On the other hand, we should also clear away the toxins in the blood and relieving anemia.
In our Hospital, we have immune clearance, in which step, many blood purification techs are applied such as blood dialysis, blood filtration, blood perfusion and plasma exchange, etc. Some of these will be applied on the basis of chronic kidney disease patients’ specific condition. After this, a cleaner environment is created, which also prevents the further damage of red blood cells, thus relieving anemia eventually.
On the other hand, Chinese Medicine is applied, which is abstracted from nature, the main prescription is natural herbs, which has no side effect. It contains elements which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells and can also increase the immune ability. In addition, it is applied through osmosis, which means that it will not lead to poor appetite and nausea for it is not taken orally.
Last but not least, at present, both immune clearance such as blood purification and Chinese Medicine are part of immunotherapy in our Hospital, which can be divided into 6 steps such as immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection.
