Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
& It's Complications
Cardiovascular disease & CKD
: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among patients with chronic kidney disease. It's mortality is estimated to be 57% higher in people with a GFR less than 69 ml/min per 1.73m2. GFR decline could increase the risks of myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death.
ANEMIA & CKD
ANEMIA is a condition in which your blood has a lower than -normal amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin to carry oxygen.
The deterioration of kidney function leads to the lesser production of erythropoietin (EPO)
, an hormone that send signals to the body to make red blood cells.
