7. Nausea and Vomiting: Indicators of Impaired Kidney Function
Nausea and vomiting can be indicators of IgA nephropathy, particularly in the later stages of the condition when kidney function has become significantly impaired. As the kidneys become more damaged, they are less able to effectively filter waste from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins in the body. This can cause a range of symptoms, including nausea and vomiting.
If you are experiencing symptoms of nausea and vomiting, particularly if you have a history of kidney problems or a family history of kidney disease, it is important to seek medical attention. Your healthcare provider can perform tests to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan that is appropriate for your specific needs.
Treatment for IgA nephropathy may include medications to control blood pressure and reduce inflammation, as well as dietary changes to help manage symptoms and support kidney function. In some cases, dialysis or kidney transplant may be necessary if the kidneys have become severely damaged.
Nausea and vomiting can be symptoms of a wide range of conditions, including impaired kidney function and IgA nephropathy. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan. (7)
