Symptom 6: Nausea and Vomiting: Unpleasant Indicators of Kidney Trouble
Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of glomerulonephritis, often resulting from the buildup of waste products in the bloodstream. As your kidneys struggle to filter waste efficiently, toxins accumulate in your body, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort and feelings of nausea. In some cases, this can progress to vomiting, further exacerbating your overall discomfort.
If you’re experiencing persistent nausea and vomiting, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. They can perform diagnostic tests to assess your kidney function and determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Treatment for nausea and vomiting related to glomerulonephritis typically involves addressing the underlying inflammation and improving kidney function. In some cases, your healthcare provider may also prescribe anti-nausea medications to help alleviate your symptoms. Maintaining proper hydration and following a balanced diet can also play a crucial role in managing nausea and vomiting.
