High Bp & Kidney Problems With Anemia Posted: 11-12-03 19:48pm


My 35 year old sister has fibromuscular dysplasia in her renal artery. Is there anyone who knows someone with this condition & if so, do they also have iron deficiency. Her nephrologist has related this to her not eating enough red meat & to her menstrual cycle, but I think it's a sign of a more serious condition. Any thoughts or recommendations? I have a forboding feeling i'm going to lose her soon, but don't know how to help her & don't think her Dr. Is doing enough. Thank you.

You don't get iron deficiency from that - the main effect would be high blood pressure. If the kidneys were affected severely enough kidney function would be reduced but the anaemia of renal impairment is not iron deficiency anaemia
