Globally, anemia occurs in 1.62 billion individuals or around 24.8% of the population. In Indonesia, anemia occurs in about 15.4% of the population. Anemia is often a problem with misdiagnosis and inaccurate management. The male patient presents with weakness since the last month. The patient began to feel symptoms of hypertension (220/110 mmHg) at 3 months ago accompanied by tightness, itching in the body, weakness and pale days, swelling almost all over the body, and decreased urine. On physical examination, there was hypertension (160/90 mmHg), the conjunctival was anemic and on the palpebrae, superior and inferior limbs there was pitting edema. On supporting examination, it was obtained patient with normocytic and normochromic anemia Hb 5 g/dL, erythrocyte 1.8 million/μL, hematocrit 15%, LED 90 mm/hour, ureum 486 mg/dL, creatinine 39.28 mg/dL, calcium 4.7 mg/dL, chloride 92 U/L, sodium 124 mmol/L, and potassium 6.6 mmol/L.
