How do you treat anemia in dialysis patients?

If you are detected with anemia during dialysis it is treated with medications because diet alone cannot meet your iron needs. The drug is called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). ESAs replace the EPO that is low in people with kidney failure, so they can make red blood cells.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
