Question: I have CKD stage 3, GFR 41. I feel anaemic, is it safe to take vitamins?
Answer: In CKD stage 3, your kidneys are damaged moderately so that you will have some symptoms. You said you feel anemic. Anemia happens when your red blood cells are in short supply. It is a common complication of CKD.
How does CKD cause anemia?
Your kidneys make an important hormone called erythropoietin. It can stimulate bone marrows to make red blood cells. When you have kidney disease, your kidneys cna not make enough EPO. Low EPO levels cause your red blood cell count to drop and anemia to develop. Anemia can happen early in the course of kidney disease and grow worse as kidneys fail and can no longer make EPO.
With anemia, you may have the following symptoms.
-Feel tired or weak
-Look pale
-Feel cold

Anemia can be treated with erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) and extra iron. And if you have vitamin deficiency, you can supplement moderate folate, vitamin B-12 and vitamin C. But you had better talk with your doctor about the amount of vitamins. Too much is as bad as too little.
