My father is under treatment for CKD for last 24 months now. We are seeing creatinine now at 2.1mg/dl and lower protein loss. However, the blood (CBC) metrics are showing a negative movement with hemoglobin at 9 and RBC much lower than minimum requirement and WBC/platelets high. This seems to be anemia. Doctor is suggesting additional medicines without any clarity.
Anyone has any idea here, as the shaky nature of blood metrics is causing a concern and worry. Please advise if anyone has faced the same issue and how to tackle it. Thanks in advance.

I am male age 79 and in US. I am on a CKD diet. I too have anemia with low RBC and HCT. It could be related to CKD. My previous Doctor did not offer any advice on it. I now have a new Doctor and awaiting more information on further diagnosis and treatment. Keep us posted on your father's condition.
Hi Orangecity41. How are you doing?Latest reports show low haemoglobin for my father and also high platelet count with "giant platelet seen" as a remark in the report. I don't understand what it means.
I am not sure. about how giant platelet is connected to CKD. It is something I plan on asking my new Doctor about at next appointment. It might not be related to CKD in my medical situation.
