4. Nausea and Vomiting: The Unsettling Effects of Toxin Buildup
As kidney function deteriorates, the body struggles to eliminate waste products effectively, leading to a buildup of toxins in the bloodstream. This accumulation, known as uremia, can cause feelings of nausea and even episodes of vomiting.
Uremia can also lead to a metallic taste in the mouth and a decreased appetite, contributing to weight loss and malnutrition. In severe cases, uremic symptoms can become life-threatening and require immediate medical intervention.
If you’re experiencing persistent nausea and vomiting, along with other symptoms of CKD, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. Identifying and treating the underlying kidney issues can help alleviate these distressing symptoms and improve your overall well-being. (4)
