It's not just the ⤵️EPO that causes anemia in patients with CKD
CKD = inflammation = ⤴️Hepcidin = ⤵️iron absorption = anemia
Blood loss during dialysis = iron deficiency anemia
CKD = ⤴️Uremic toxins = ⤵️red cell production
CKD = inflammation = ⤴️Hepcidin = ⤵️iron absorption = anemia

Anemia in CKD 👇🏽
We all know that CKD = ⤵️EPO
What's the mechanism?
The interstitial cells transdifferentiate into MYOFIBROBLASTS instead of EPO producing cells
⤵️ EPO producing cells = ⤵️EPO = Anemia 👇🏽

ABO status continues to impact transplant outcomes even in the PTCy era!
If you have more than 1 available donor, please consider the ABO status especially when using RIC conditioning!
Thanks to @haemophage.bsky.social for the mentorship 🙌🏼
