Why does kidney failure patients have nausea?
The cause of nausea may be acid-base imbalance. Normally our kidneys work to keep acid-base balance and remove wastes and toxins from the body. Once damaged, too many wastes and toxins will accumulate in our kidneys. Meantime, the damaged kidneys pass less urine, and too many things in our body make us feel sick. The main treatment of this condition is to recover the function of kidney. Only when kidneys get better, can these symptoms be alleviated.
The most possible cause may be dialysis imbalance syndrome. Dialysis imbalance syndrome is one side effect of dialysis. When doing dialysis, the toxin in CKD patients’ blood is removed quickly, but the toxins in other parts of body haven’t been removed yet. The different amount of toxins in body will lead to nausea and vomiting. In this case, the speed of ultrafiltration dehydration should be reduced, and patients had better stay in bed and stay calm.
