Date Published: 2024-01-12

Introduction:
Chronic anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The incidence and severity of anemia increase as CKD progresses to more severe stages. The main cause of renal anemia is low erythropoietin (EPO) levels and/or reduced EPO receptor activity. , Besides, iron deficiency is also one of the causes of anemia in CKD patients.
