JUNE ASSESSMENT

JUNE ASSESSMENT: Q 1: What is the reason for anaemia in this case? Ans: When you have kidney disease, your kidneys cannot make enough EPO. Low EPO levels cause your red blood cell count to drop and anemia to develop. Most people with kidney disease will develop anemia. Anemia can happen early in the course of kidney disease and grow worse as kidneys fail and can no longer make EPO Link: https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/what_anemia_ckd My analysis: In this case, the most probable reason for anemia could be CKD---> due to reduced erythropoietin production.
