To know what does 8.0 hemoglobin mean, we need first to know what is the normal range of hemoglobin. For adults and children, male and female, the normal values have slight differences. For children the normal range of hemoglobin is 11-13, for adult male it is 14-18 and for adult female it is 12-16. So we can see that hemoglobin 8.0 is quite low.
Hemoglobin is one type of protein in the red blood cells. It plays important role in carrying oxygen to the body tissues and bring carbon dioxide from the tissues. Low count of hemoglobin is caused by low red blood cell count due to anemia. For CKD stage 4 patients, renal anemia and low red blood cell count are very common because the severely impaired kidneys can not produce enough erythropoietin which is an important hormone to stimulate the bone marrow to produce enough red blood cells.
Besides the low level of hemoglobin in the laboratory test, patients of CKD 4 will also experience a series of symptoms and discomforts that are associated with anemia such as fatigue, tiredness, always feels cold, etc.
To increase the low hemoglobin level of 8.0 back into normal range, early and effective treatment should be sought to deal with the anemia and low hypoalbuminemia.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been proved to be an effective non-dialysis therapies for CKD stage 4 patients. It can help promote blood circulation and metabolism so as to improve the patient’s overall illness conditions. What is more, active ingredients of Chinese medicines can help repair renal filtration system, repair damaged renal tissues and improve renal functions so that more erythropoietin can be produced and anemia can be eased. Since the basement membrane is repaired, protein leakage in urine can be reduced so that the level of serum albumin can be improved.
Besides, CKD stage 4 patients with low hemoglobin should have more dietary intake of folic acid, iron and vitamin C. For serious anemia, blood transfusion and iron infection can help a lot.
