CAUSES OF ANEMIA

The number of people around the world diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease has soared to epidemic proportions. All of these diseases are often accompanied by the development of chronic kidney disease and anemia. It is no wonder then that chronic kidney disease has also become an epidemic around the world. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of people with CKD resulting in kidney failure doubled to nearly 1.5 million. This number is expected to exceed 2.0 million by 2010.
