UNHEALTHY KIDNEY
FATIGUE-BEING TIRED ALL OF THE TIME
Healthy kidneys make a hormone called
erythropoietin, or EPO, that tells your body
to make oxygen- carrying red blood cells.
As the kidneys fail, they make less EPO.
With fewer red blood cells to carry
oxygen, your muscles and brain tire
very quickly. This is anemia, and it
can be treated.
