Does Smoking Marijuana While Suffering From Anemia Cause Any Complications?
Husband is on dialysis and anemic -- found out he has been smoking weed. Can this have an effect on his anemia? He has had 3 blood transfusions this month. Blood level has been down as low as 5.3. He has been treated for AVMs several times since starting dialysis in 2013.
