Anemia of Renal Disease Chronic renal failure is usually associated with a moderate to severe hypoproliferative anemia the level of the anemia correlates with the severity of the renal failure. Red cells are typically normocytic and normochromic and reticulocytes are decreased. The anemia is primarily due to a failure to produce adequate amounts of EPO and a reduction in red cell survival. In certain forms of acute renal failure the correlation between the anemia and renal function is weaker. Patients with the hemolytic-uremic syndrome increase erythropoiesis in response to the hemolysis despite renal failure requiring dialysis. Polycystic kidney disease also shows a smaller degree of EPO deficiency for a given level of renal failure. By contrast patients with diabetes or myeloma have more severe EPO deficiency for a given level of renal failure. Assessment of iron status provides information to distinguish the anemia of renal disease from the other forms of hypoproliferative anemia Table 98-6 and to guide management. Patients with the anemia of renal disease usually present with normal serum iron TIBC and ferritin levels. However those maintained on chronic hemodialysis may develop iron deficiency from blood loss through the dialysis procedure. Iron must be replenished in these patients to ensure an adequate response to EPO therapy see below . Anemia in Hypometabolic States Patients who are starving .
