The kidneys serve a number of purposes; they produce urine and filter waste products from the body, regulate electrolytes such as potassium and phosphorous, they produce erythropoietin which stimulates red blood cell production by the bone marrow, and they contribute toward regulating blood pressure.

Working on the PCV is important, many factors go into red blood cell production starting with a hormone secreted by the kidneys called erythropoietin (you hear about it a lot in sports like cycling) which stimulates red blood cell production; more investigation may be needed to determine if the problem is an increase in destruction or a decrease in production.

For instance, liquid culture fermentation is used to produce large quantities of insulin and erythropoietin used to treat diabetes and anaemia, respectively (the latter has also found notoriety in distance sports, such as cycling and marathon running, for its endurance enhancing properties).

Synthetic erythropoietin, or EPO, a chemical naturally produced by the kidneys, is a favorite of triathletes, marathon runners, Tour de France cyclists, and others who engage in long periods of aerobic activity.

Because the kidney makes erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that triggers the production of red blood cells, people whose kidneys degenerate can develop anaemia — not having enough red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body.

Blood pressure can rise, and the kidneys eventually stop producing enough erythropoietin, the hormone that stimulates red blood cell production.

Anemia develops in later renal failure stages due to decreased erythropoietin production by failing kidneys.

The cause needs to be investigated starting with confirming the presence of glucose in the urine, after blood tests for blood counts (kidneys secrete erythropoietin which stimulates the production of red blood cells) and biochemistry (which would indicate general kidney and liver function), there will be a clearer picture of Chinu's condition.

One study discussing the use of HGH for anemia explains how multiple hormone changes can influence erythropoietin synthesis (production of the hormone that promotes red blood cell mass).
