erythropoietin which stimulates the bone marrow to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail‚ they produce less erythropoietin‚ resulting in decreased production of red blood cells to replace the natural breakdown of old red blood cells. As a result‚ the blood carries less hemoglobin‚ a condition known as anemia. This can result in: Feeling tired and/or weak Memory problems Difficulty concentrating Dizziness Low blood pressure * Proteins are usually too big to pass through the kidneys
