When Kidney Function Affects Blood Production – World Anemia Awareness
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.”
