Abstract
Anemia develops early in the course of renal failure, becomes
prominent as the disease progress, and contributes substantially to
disability. Patients with renal failure have lower plasma levels of
erythropoietin and less erythropoiesis than other patients with similar
degree of anemia, suggesting inadequate production of erythropoietin by
the diseased kidney as the primary mechanism of renal anemia
