The pathological mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies for renal anemia

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a review article about anemia in kidney disease, meaning low red blood cell counts that leave people pale, cold and exhausted. It walks through why failing kidneys cause it: less of the hormone that tells the body to make red cells, iron that gets locked away, and ongoing inflammation. It then discusses drugs being developed to target those causes. A review gathers and explains other people's work, so there are no new results here.
