• Anemia

  No polyuria, anemia, gout, hematuria, nor proteinuria were seen. An average of 4.5 years elapsed from diagnosis to end-stage renal disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Anemia is characteristic of moderate to advanced CKD (≥ stage 3). The anemia of CKD is normochromic-normocytic, with an Hct of 20 to 30% (35 to 40% in patients with polycystic kidney disease ). [merckmanuals.com]

  Anemia is treated and transfusions are given if anemia is severe. ACE inhibitor drugs may be prescribed at low doses to treat cardiac symptoms. Diuretics may be prescribed to reduce fluid retention. [encyclopedia.com]

  All of the findings suggest Familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy probably type 1 as there is late onset of anemia. [japi.org]

  A more severe degree of anemia than would be anticipated for the degree of renal failure suggests myeloma kidney; serum and urine immunoelectrophoresis should be performed to detect monoclonal antibodies. [meddean.luc.edu]

Moreover, this association may worsen renal and total prognosis. [sjkdt.org]
