Juan is a 70-year-old man with a history of hypertension. He
started dialysis treatment for ESRD eight months ago. Before
starting dialysis, he was closely monitored by his doctors for his
condition as he had polyuria and nocturia. In addition to having
problems managing hypertension, he has lost his appetite, is weak,
tired, and has swelling around his ankles. Juan was arguing with
his doctor about starting dialysis. The doctor insisted before the
signs and symptoms of uremia increased.

he anemic?
