A member asked:

Have ckd stage 4 and keep feeling drained and tired ... no appetite and just thirsty .. is this normal ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CKD 4 and weakness: If you are tired, have your nephrologist (n) check your hemoglobin. Yours may be low. If so, you may need a drug an esa, to raise it. Your anorexia also may be a symptom of some progression of your ckd. See your nephrologist for a meaningful answer to your question.
