summary

Many people want to know what is the cause of renal insufficiency. My mother suffers from this disease and has symptoms of fatigue and pale face. The doctor said that he has found anemia. Many patients with renal insufficiency will have anemia. What is the cause. Now let me analyze it for you.

What is chronic renal insufficiency

First of all, the main reason for renal insufficiency is the decrease of EPO synthesis when the renal function is damaged. Iron deficiency can also be caused in some people, but many of them are mainly due to the lack or UNUTILIZATION of some proteins and iron in uremia.

Secondly, if the renal insufficiency is serious, there will be symptoms of anemia, a variety of kidney diseases, when the disease progresses, leading to chronic renal failure or uremia, often cause anemia. When the renal function is low, the blood urea nitrogen rises to 17.9mmol/l or more, and the creatinine reaches 354p.mol/l or more, anemia is almost inevitable.

Finally, because the kidney is an endocrine organ, the kidney is not only a excretory organ, but also an endocrine organ. Erythropoietin is secreted by the kidney. Erythropoietin (EPO) is a substance that plays an important role in regulating the proliferation, maturation and release of red blood cells. When a variety of kidney diseases lead to renal failure and damage a large number of kidney tissues and paraglomerular organs, the secretion of EPO decreases or even lacks, resulting in the disorder of erythropoiesis and anemia.
