Anemia is one of the most common symptoms of chronic renal failure. The causes of anemia are as follows:
1. The erythropoietin secreted by the kidney is sharply reduced, which makes the hematopoietic power of the hematopoietic factory - bone marrow insufficient, and thus anemia. Before recombinant human erythropoietin was synthesized and used in clinic, the treatment of anemia in patients with chronic renal failure mainly depended on blood transfusion. The lack of blood source led to the unfortunate death of most patients with renal failure due to anemia. Therefore, the use of erythropoietin is of milestone significance in the treatment of patients with renal failure.
2. Hematopoietic raw materials are mainly lack of iron. There are many reasons for iron deficiency in renal failure patients, such as decreased absorption of iron in the gastrointestinal tract, decreased activity of transferrin in the body, iron utilization disorder, repeated test and dialysis blood loss, etc. Therefore, the use of iron, including oral iron and intravenous iron, is another important treatment for correcting iron deficiency in patients with chronic renal failure.
3. Excessive destruction of red blood cells: the average life of red blood cells in patients with chronic renal failure is shortened due to the activities of primary diseases (such as lupus) and the accumulation of long-term toxic metabolites, which is also an important reason for their anemia. Therefore, the treatment of primary diseases and the elimination of toxins (such as abdominal dialysis and hemodialysis) are also indispensable in the treatment of renal anemia.
Common treatment methods for anemia due to renal failure include:
1. The use of "hematopoietin" that stimulates the production of red blood cells, such as probiotics, Yibao, etc.
2. The use of supplementary iron, such as sucrose iron, Lifenone, Shengxuening, ferrous sulfate, etc.
3. Supplement folic acid and vitamins.
4. Improve nutrition.
5. Reduce inflammation and toxin levels (hemodialysis and abdominal dialysis).
6. Blood transfusion if necessary.
