Anemia
Why kidney patients get anemic — iron first, or injections?
Always tired, breathless on the stairs? Anemia is common in kidney disease, but the order of treatment matters.
- 1The kidneys make erythropoietin (EPO); as function falls, EPO drops and red cells decline. Definition: hemoglobin <13 g/dL in men, <12 in women.
- 2Symptoms: fatigue, breathlessness, feeling cold, dizziness, poor concentration, fast heartbeat — often dismissed as "just age" or "overwork".
- 3Check iron first: transferrin saturation (TSAT) and ferritin. If iron is low, replace it (oral or IV) — many people improve on iron alone.
- 4Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are not meant to normalise Hb: guidelines advise not deliberately exceeding 11.5 g/dL and avoiding >13, because higher targets raise stroke and clot risk.
- 5Anemia may have another cause: stomach ulcer or bowel bleeding, B12/folate deficiency, inflammation — guidelines say rule these out rather than blaming the kidneys for everything.
Ask at your visit: "Is my iron sufficient? What is my Hb target? Should we rule out other bleeding?"

장면과 내레이션. 세로 9:16, 자막은 하단 1/3에. 각 내레이션은 왼쪽 출처와 대응.
| 초 | 화면 | 내레이션 |
|---|---|---|
| 0–5 | Breathless on stairs, pale face | Always tired, breathless after two flights of stairs? With kidney disease, that may well be anemia. |
| 5–16 | Kidney → EPO → red cells; "Hb <13 men / <12 women" | The kidneys make erythropoietin, EPO. As function falls, EPO runs short and red cells decline. Hemoglobin under 13 in men or 12 in women counts as anemia. |
| 16–25 | Symptom icons: tired, breathless, cold, dizzy | Fatigue, breathlessness, feeling cold, dizziness, poor concentration, a racing heart — often put down to age or overwork. |
| 25–36 | Blood test "TSAT, ferritin" → iron | Check iron first: transferrin saturation and ferritin. If iron is low, replace it, by mouth or IV — many people improve on iron alone. |
| 36–47 | ESA injection + scale "≤11.5, avoid >13" | ESAs are not meant to bring hemoglobin back to normal. Guidelines advise not exceeding 11.5 and avoiding above 13, because higher levels raise stroke and clot risk. |
| 47–55 | Stomach, bowel, B12 icons | Anemia can also come from a stomach ulcer, bowel bleeding, B12 or folate deficiency, inflammation. Guidelines say rule those out first. |
