Why Do I Have Nausea and Tiredness after Dialysis

Many patients may have nausea and tiredness after dialysis treatment. These terrible feelings may make the patients not want to have another dialysis treatment. Why the patients experience those horrible feelings?

It can help the patients on dialysis stop this from happening to know the causes of tiredness and nausea after dialysis. The detailed discussion of each reason are as follows:
Low blood pressure
Low blood pressure is the most common cause of tiredness and nausea. During dialysis treatment, fluid is removed to eliminate the building up of extra fluid in body. As healthy kidneys work in 24 hours persistently to remove the fluid out of body, the fluid is required to be excreted out of body in a short time. It is very likely to cause low blood pressure.
Severe aneamia
Severe aneamia is commonly seen in Renal Failure and can cause low blood pressure and weakness. This can be magnified by dialysis treatment.
Infection
Infection can lead to low blood pressure, nausea and tiredness. This can happen if there is a new infection that happens during dialysis or if there is a chronic infection that affects the way the body can tolerate the dialysis session.
Blood pressure medications
Many patients with Renal Failure have high blood pressure. Dialysis can lower blood pressure by removing extra fluid so most patients are told to stop medications for blood pressure during dialysis. As the medications start working and lowering blood pressure and the machine is removing fluid and lowering blood pressure, the blood pressure may go too low. Therefore, some patients with Renal Failure are recommended to stop taking medications for blood pressure, but some should not. It is necessary for you to discuss it with your doctors before starting dialysis.
