A member asked:
Does low kidney function cause low immune system with low wbc and platelets? or would it be the other way around?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney: Depends on how poorly the kidney function is. It can lead to anemia and sometimes low platelet count. Sounds like you have more going on and should continue seeing your doctor.
