Renal anemia is caused by the decrease amount of red blood cells in the body. Red blood cells are generated with the help of EPO and EPO is a kind of hormone which is generated in kidney. So how to treat or relieve renal anemia once it comes into being? Aranesp is a good choice.
2. What is Aranesp?
Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa) is a man-made form of a protein that helps your body produce red blood cells. The amount of this protein in your body may be reduced when you have kidney failure or use certain medications. When fewer red blood cells are produced, you can develop a condition called anemia.Anemia and Kidney Disease .
Aranesp is used to treat anemia (a lack of red blood cells in the body).
3.In which condition, you can not use Aranesp
You should not use Aranesp if you have untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure, if you are allergic to darbepoetin alfa or epoetin alfa (Epogen or Procrit), or if you have ever had pure red cell aplasia (PRCA, a type of anemia) caused by using either of these two drugs.
4. Side effect of Aranesp
Aranesp can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use this medicine. Aranesp may also shorten remission time or survival time in some people with certain types of cancer.
5. An alternative medicine besides Aranesp
Since it has the above adverse effects, we’d introduce a new therapy: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which is made of herbs in nature and cause little side effect. It can improve the inner environment and give the red blood cells a cleaner environment as well as repair the kidney structure, thus making the secreting ability of EPO turn normal.
Anemia can really be relieved by Aranesp and Micro-Chinese Medicine is also worth trying.
