Why Do I Suffer from Anemia with Polycystic Kidney Disease

Recently, some Polycystic Kidney Disease patients complain that they are suffering fatigue, poor concentration and some other anemia related symptoms. Anemia, as a symptom of Polycystic Kidney Disease, actually do not appear at all when kidney damages are not so serious and also, not everyone with Polycystic Kidney Disease will certain suffer from symptom of anemia. However, why do some PKD patients suffer from this symptom?
Anemia is a medical condition that there is not enough red blood cell in the blood. Kidneys have function to secret EPO which can promote the generation of red blood cells. Polycystic Kidney Disease damages kidneys and make them unable in secreting EPO. Less EPO is not favorable for producing red blood cells, as a result of which, count of red blood cell in the blood is lesser and lesser.
Actually, apart from affecting the generation of red blood cells, Polycystic Kidney Disease also causes anemia through shortening the life span of red blood cells. Because of PKD, kidneys fail to excrete toxins and this lead to the condition that large amounts of toxins pile up in the blood. These toxins damaged red blood cells and shorten their life span, which also should be blame for symptom of anemia.
Anemia is not the only symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease, but it is the symptom that can indicate PKD has developed into advanced stage. (symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease aside from anemia)
At moment, only Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is found to have function to remit anemia caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease. It is an effective treatment and what is more, it causes no side effects.
