What to do about severe anemia in diabetic nephropathy

For severe anemia associated with diabetic kidney cancer, a comprehensive treatment approach is required. 1. Control diabetes through proper diet, appropriate exercise, and necessary antidiabetic medications or insulin therapy to maintain blood glucose levels within the normal range, thereby reducing further damage to the kidneys and hematopoietic system. 2. For kidney cancer, treatment options such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy should be selected based on the individual patient's condition to control tumor growth and reduce its catabolic and destructive effects on the body. 3. For severe anemia, in addition to treating the underlying disease as mentioned above, symptomatic treatment is also necessary. Patients with severe anemia may require blood transfusions to rapidly increase hemoglobin levels and alleviate symptoms of anemia. 4. Patients should also pay attention to dietary management, increasing intake of iron- and vitamin-rich foods such as animal liver, red meat, and leafy green vegetables, to aid in improving the anemic condition.
