Treatment for Stage 3 CKD with GFR 45 And Anemia

A person with stage 3 CKD has GFR of 30-59ml/min. When GFR declines to 45, a host of symptoms will appear. Anemia is a common complication in stage 3 CKD.

Stage 3 CKD with GFR 45 and anemia

Glomeruli are the basic functional units in kidneys. Every kidney is composed of around one million nephrons. GFR measures how much blood is filtered by glomeruli each minute. The normal range of GFR is between 90-125ml/min. When GFR 45 results as renal function declines, the kidneys become unable to filter all polluted blood. Hence, high levels of waste products will build up in body.

A renal patient with anemia often suffers from fatigue and may feel cold easily. Anemia in stage 3 CKD can be attributed to multiple factors. Decreased level of EPO is the major culprit of anemia for renal patients. The diseased kidneys fail to produce adequate EPO which can stimulate the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. In addition, the high levels of toxins and waste products can shorten the life span of red blood cells. Meanwhile, if the patients are on a restricted diet, they may not get enough raw materials for making red blood cells like folic acid.
