Can taking iron supplements help overcome anemia caused by kidney disease/failure? And why does kidney disease/failure often cause nausea and loss of appetite? Thank you!

      Iron alone would not help as kidney failure results in too low levels of erythropoietin, a hormone the kidneys makes that induces the bone marrow to make RBCs.

      Iron often is given, but the levels have to be monitored, as iron overload can lead to serious toxicity, including liver toxcity.

      In all cases of anemia, iron levels have to be measured to justify iron supplementation.
