Flip through and download the guide
Though anemia may not be the most severe complication of kidney disease, it is highly prevalent among kidney disease patients. Anemia is a common side effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and most people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have anemia. Anemia may cause kidney disease to worsen. Even if your patient does mention or currently show symptoms of anemia, set aside time to talk to them about anemia and available treatment options.
