End stage renal disease (ESRD) is the advanced stage of chronic kidney disease where the kidneys are functioning at less than 10-15% of their normal capacity. At this stage, the kidneys are unable to effectively filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to a build-up of toxins in the body. Patients with ESRD often require dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive.

Anemia in end stage renal disease is primarily caused by a decrease in the production of erythropoietin, a hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. As kidney function declines, there is a reduction in erythropoietin levels, leading to reduced red blood cell production and anemia. Additionally, other factors such as chronic inflammation and iron deficiency can also contribute to anemia in end stage renal disease.
