My iron reserves are blocked; is there anything i can do to get the iron to work properly in my body?

Tough problem: Can be either the iron or the rest of the blood building system. Renal failure causes lack of kidney produced hormones to make blood. These can be replaced (EPO). Any inflammatory process causes both decreased drive to make blood and iron being blocked. It is very hard to overcome this other than working on the underly condition.
