1. Decrease of erythropoietin. When kidneys get damaged severely, EPO could not get enough secretion, which promotes the production of red blood cells.
2. Retention of metabolic products (such as methylguanidine, guanidinosuccinic acid and so on) restrains the maturity of the red blood cells and damages red cell membrane, which shortens lifespan of red blood cells. Besides, toxic substances(such as erythropoietin inhibitory factor) in blood can inhibit the activity of erythropoietin.
