  Anemia frequently develops as a chronic kidney disease (CKD) complication, reducing patient quality of life. It increases morbidity and mortality and hastens the progression of CKD. In the context of CKD patients, anemia is characterized by hemoglobin (Hb) levels falling below two times the standard deviation of mean Hb in the general population, adjusted for age and gender. The primary cause of anemia in CKD is insufficient production of endogenous erythropoietin, a hormone crucial for the maturation of red blood cell precursors. Recent years have unveiled additional contributing factors, including impaired bone marrow response to erythropoietin due to uremic toxins and inflammation, reduced iron availability for erythropoiesis, heightened levels of hepcidin, shortened red blood cell lifespan, and deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or folic acid. CKD-related anemia can manifest early, even as early as CKD stages 2 and 3, per KDIGO guidelines. Hemoglobin levels decline when the ...
