Awareness of Anaemia in Diabetes Patients

Abstract

Although the link between diabetes and anaemia has been firmly established in the renal world, patients with diabetes and healthcare workers in this field are clearly failing to recognise many of the common symptoms of anaemia, a key indicator for renal disease. By forging links and instigating an exchange of information, renal health care workers can work with their colleagues in diabetes to raise awareness of the important benefits arising from the early diagnosis and treatment of the anaemia related to kidney disease.
