CKD is divided into five stages, and stage 4 CKD is an advanced stage, in which patient’s kidney function is damaged severely. Kidney is very imprrant for our body health, and when it is damaged severely, many metabolic disorders will appear at this point.

What causes fatigue in CKD stage 4?
kidney has the function of secreting hemopoietin, which can promote the formation of red cells in patient’s body. While when kidney function is damaged severely in CKD stage 4, patients will have the shortage of red cells, which is known as anemia. Red cell transports oxygen for the metabolism of body tissues, but when it is deficient, body metabolism will be obstructed, and that will cause the shortage of energy for patient’s activity. As a result, patients will feel fatigue.
Besides, when patient’s kidney function is very low, there will be lots of metabolic wastes accumulating in patient’s body, including various toxins. Soem toxins can damage the formation of red cells, and some toxins can shorten its living time. As a result, these will aggravate patient’s anemia.
