Glenn is a 60-year-old white male who has CKD. He recently entered stage 3; his GFR is 58. Glenn was seen by his physician and was complaining of weakness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and occasional dizziness, especially upon standing. His physician ran a CBC and found that Glenn was extremely anemic. In addition to the CKD and anemia, Glenn has type 1 diabetes×which is the cause of his
CKD. After discussing the anemia with Glenn, and the various treatment options available to him, Glenn and his physician decided to start him on ProCrit once a month. If the anemia does not improve, the dosage will be increased. Glenn was instructed to have a CBC in one month, and then return to the office several days after that.
