I have old grand mother, she has poor appetite, she has diabetic hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and she has anemia what should I do thank you b.

Question

Good morning Ms. lybrate-user. As per the information you have provided, the chronic kidney disease might have caused anemia means lowered hemoglobin level. Which leads to loss of taste. The main culprit for the kidney damage is uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension. Synthesis of erythropoietin hormone responsible for red blood cell production, produced by the kidneys will be affected due to the damage. You need to control your bp and diabetes first by reassessing your current medication. To correct the anemia you may need to take erythropoietin injections as prescribed by your treating physician based on serum creatinine levels which indicates the level of kidney damage. Slowly her general condition improves and hence the taste and appetite too. Hope I have addressed your query satisfactorily. If you still need further assistance please feel free to contact.
