Sandra Ruckstuhl: Why Blood Health Matters in People Living With Kidney Disease
Sandra Ruckstuhl, Corporate Communications and Affairs Leader, shared World Anemia Awareness‘ post on LinkedIn:
“Having had the opportunity to work in nephrology and on advancing Patient Blood Management, I have seen first-hand how closely kidney health and blood health are connected.
It is a connection that deserves much greater attention, especially as anemia is common in people living with kidney disease and often goes unnoticed.
This is why PBM matters: it puts the focus on looking after a person’s own blood, identifying problems early and addressing the underlying causes. Ultimately, it is about better care and better outcomes for patients.
There is still much to do to raise awareness of blood and kidney health. Every conversation that helps people understand the connection is a step in the right direction.”
World Anemia Awareness shared a post on LinkedIn:
Did you know your kidneys help make your blood?
Alongside filtering, healthy kidneys make a hormone called EPO, which tells the body to make red blood cells. It’s one part of a remarkably connected system, where the kidneys, the bone marrow and the iron we take in all play a role in keeping our blood healthy.
When any part of that system is under strain, anemia can follow. It is more common than most people realize, at every age and stage of life, and it often develops quietly.
The first pillar of Patient Blood Management is looking after a person’s own blood. Anemia that is noticed early leaves more time to understand what is behind it and to address it, whatever the cause turns out to be.
It’s a reminder that blood health belongs to all of us. Noticing changes in how we feel, like tiredness that doesn’t lift or getting breathless more easily, and knowing that a simple blood test can show what is going on, is a part each of us can play.”
