This was the most helpful explanation of my anemia due to kidney disease. Thank you.

My dr gave me an iron supplement and my iron levels actually got worse. All the ones you mentioned plus more.

It's disheartening not being able to hear this video because of your out-going volume setting.
You guys share so much valuable and very-hard to find information, and I am grateful for that.

Thank you Dr Sean Hashmi & Michele for your effort to share this video. My question is, can walking for more than 30mins daily help treating Anemia?

Hi there, I would like to know why I am in a lot more pain in my kidney that stops me in my tracks when I take Iron Tablet? Plus I am dealing with SLE.

Thx Dr Hashmi for this excellent and lifesaving Infos as always. In general these kind of Infos are rarely told to the large public with so clarity and accuracy .
At 73 yrs, my EGFR is 72 and my hsCRP is 0.15 but my hemoglobin is around 12 g and doesn't increase despite iron supplements. No diabetes or hypertention.stomach fibroscopy and colonoscopy also normal. Maybe 12 g hemoglobin and low ferritin are healthy for me. Are there other alternatives ?

hi doctor, do you recommand ESA for people with myelodysplastic syndrome ? I don't' know if it is a cancer

[ANGGIA_P]

Hi Doc, why would a hemoglobin level of more than 11 increase the risk of mortality and stroke for people with CKD? I tried googling it but I couldn't find any answer. Thank you

Can u address constipation and what is safe to use?

[Beahumanfirstt]

Doc can you let us know what is your creatinine reading and how much it fluctuate through out the year..

[taylorferrell]

What about ferritin levels? Those are super important. You can have normal hemoglobin and low ferritin?

[vanessabonilla]

What could it mean if RBC + Hemoglobin + Hematocrit are all low should I be concerned?
