Iron deficiency anaemia is anaemia caused by a lack of iron in the body. Iron is an essential mineral for overall health and healthy blood cells. Iron aids in the production of haemoglobin, which is present in red blood cells. When there is a lack of iron, red blood cells do not produce enough haemoglobin to transport oxygen. Anemia is a typical consequence of chronic renal disease (CKD). CKD indicates that your kidneys are damaged and are unable to filter blood as effectively as they should. CKD can also lead to other health issues.
