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
