Anemia is a condition in which body has fewer red blood cells than normal. Anemia normally occurs in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)- the permanent, partial loss of kidney function. This is because healthy kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin(EPO) , which controls erythrocyte production in bone marrow, which then carry oxygen throughout the body. Other causes of anemia in people with kidney diseases can be blood loss from hemodialysis.
