@laurie6 Being anemic is simply no fun! I take a 36mg chelated iron capsule every day, as that seems to be tolerated in my system the best. In the past I have used other over-the-counter iron supplements, but they didn't seem to work.

Has your doctor run the tests to check for your iron, and iron binding capacity? This will determine if your blood is carrying your iron properly: Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) is a blood test to see if you have too much or too little iron in your blood. Iron moves through the blood attached to a protein called transferrin. This test helps your health care provider know how well that protein can carry iron in your blood.

Has your nephrologist talked to you about chronic kidney care and what to do? Diet is most critical for us!
