Just had a call from my renal unit to say my HB is to high. Its 14 and was 11 last month. Im currently not having epo/eprex injections and those stopped in December. I have been making sure i each vegetables high in iron but dont eat red meat and cant believe diet alone would have caused this increase as I would think you need to eat a lot of them. This is my 2nd week of home HD and their saying i should dump my blood the next few sessions. Has any one else had their HB increase without epo/eprex injections and what caused it?
I currently have pneumonia but surely this isn't related?
Any clues or advise greatly accepted as they've said it's dangerous for my fistula but not why?
Thanks

It's good to see a post from you again Unfortunately I have just the opposite problem; extremely low HB. If you and I could average our data we'd both likely be just right on this
I look forward to hearing what others have to share on this topic.
