Why Do You Feel Nausea with Kidney Failure


Many patients with Kidney Failure often feel nausea, especially in the morning. Why it happens? How to resolve this problem?
Kidneys are important organs in our body responsible for filtering blood and they can discharge the metabolic products and excessive fluid out of body. However, in Kidney Failure, the kidneys fail their normal filtration function. Consequently, a lot of wastes like creatinine, urea nitrogen and so on will accumulate in body. Nausea in Kidney Failure is related to the increased blood urea nitrogen.
Nausea is a manifestation of digestive system disturbance. The severity of nausea varies with different disease conditions. Clinically, the nausea is particularly severe in the morning.
As mentioned above, increased urine nitrogen is an important cause of nausea in Kidney Failure. When the blood urea nitrogen level increases, the urea in intestinal tract is decomposed into ammonia with the help of bacterium. Then the ammonia will irritate the intestinal mucosa thus leading to nausea. Therefore, the higher the urea nitrogen is, the more serious the nausea will be.
Moreover, for the patients with Kidney Failure, their urine concentrating ability decreases so they have increased urine at night. As they lose much moisture at night, their blood will be concentrated. Therefore, the blood urea nitrogen will rise relatively so their nausea will aggravates in the morning.
Therefore, the patients with Kidney Failure should keep sufficient water supplement in the morning so as to avoid blood concentration and keep the blood urea nitrogen level stable. In this way, they will be able to alleviate nausea to some extent.
