Why Do Patients with Renal Failure Have Nausea

Nausea is a common symptom of Renal Failure. Many patients have poor appetite and can not get enough nutrition intakes, declining their immunity seriously. Therefore, it is very important for the patients with Renal Failure to know why they have nausea.

1. In Renal Failure due to glomerular diseases, as the glomeruli are damaged seriously, they can not prevent the protein that body needs from leaking into urine. As a result, it not only can lead to edema in their eyelids, face, ankles and other parts, but also can cause edema in gastrointestinal tract. It can disorder the normal function of digestive tract, trigging nausea, vomit and other problems. If the patients can have proper natriuresis treatment and alleviate edema, the symptoms of gastrointestinal tract will disappear.

2. Hyponatremia is also a common cause of nausea for the patients with Renal Failure. There are several reasons for hyponatremia.

(1) In some cases, the fluid build up in body or the patients have over intravenous transfusion, which can cause dilutional hyponatremia.

(2) In order to alleviate edema, the patients with Renal Failure should limit the salt intake. If they limit salt improperly, it will be very likely to lead to hyponatremia.

(3) Metabolic acidosis may make the sodium in the cells to infiltrate into cells.

(4) In some cases of Renal Failure, the patients’ renal tubule can be damaged seriously making its reabsorption function so more urine will be discharged into urine.

(5) Improper use of diuretics

3. Metabolic acidosis is also an important cause of nausea for patients with Renal Failure. As the kidneys fail to discharge the metabolic products out of body, much acid metabolites will deposit in the body, leading to metabolic acidosis. In this case, the patients may have nausea and vomit.

4. Some medicines also can lead to nausea. If the patients with Renal Failure use cyclophosphamide over time, it can injure their liver function leading to nausea. If the patients stop taking cyclophosphamide for a period, their liver function will recover gradually and the nausea and vomit will disappear.

5. The urea nitrogen level in Renal Failure is usually very high. The urea will be resolved by the urease in the stomach and intestine thus irritating the gastrointestinal mucosa causing inflammation and ulcer. According to some researches, the higher the urine nitrogen level is, the more serious the nausea will be.
