Brief Answer:
Specific query- specific answer

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
I have read your query.
I consider it a very pertinent query

Yes erythropoietin will help you
In patients with kidney disease this hormone is deficient.
This subsequently causes anemia.

Also take following measures-
a. Avoid fruits- they are usually rich in potassium.
b. Monitor your input output- this is more important if your urine output is reduced.
c. take care pf probiotics
d. avoid pain killers and antibiotics- many doctors are unsure about the medicines they prescribe. Always conform with your nephrologist.
e. Watch your viral markers, and iron levels, and sugar levels

Best of luck
Dr Mittal
