Fatigue in PKD: Causes and Treatments

Many patients with PKD will feel fatigue such as tired, weak or exhausted. So they can not work or study normally in their daily life. What is the cause for fatigue in PKD? Is there a good treatment for patients to treat this disease?

Generally speaking, the main cause of fatigue in PKD is anemia. A normal kidney can produce EPO which can generate red blood cells. While a damaged kidney can’t produce enough EPO, which lead to the reduction of red blood cells.

 So the patients will feel fatigue easily. Another cause is dialysis. A large number of patients adopt dialysis to treat PKD. But during dialysis, some useful substance can be removed from the blood.

Also, it is not easy to do the kidney transplant for patients because of a series of factors such as expensive cost, many years to wait the suitable renal resource and so on.
