"Kidney anemia refers to the absolutely insufficient or relatively lack of influence of red blood cells (EPO) caused by various kidney diseases, which affects the survival of red blood cells and its life. In addition to affecting the blood system, it will also affect the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, etc., which will endanger life. Experts suggest that for normal people, kidney diseases need to be screened once a year; for patients with kidney diseases or may cause kidney diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.), urine routine and kidney function are regularly reviewed each year. If lower limb edema, hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria, renal abnormalities and other symptoms, we must pay attention to and seek medical treatment in time. At present, kidney replacement therapy (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation) is the main treatment method of uremia. Dialysis can only be partially replaced by the kidney excretion function and cannot replace its endocrine and metabolic function. Therefore, early diagnosis and effective treatment are the basis of prevention and treatment of chronic renal failure and the key to delaying the progress of kidney disease.
