Why I Feel Fatigue after Dialysis

I am a kidney failure patient and have been on dialysis 3 months, but recently, i always feel fatigue after dialysis. I am wondering why i will got this?

In fact, there are many reasons can induce weak after dialysis, in the following i will give you some main reasons, let us have a look together.

1. Too much fluid removed

Dialysis is usually performed 3 to 4 times in a week. Between sessions of dialysis, high level of fluid will build up in body. During the dialysis treatment, fluid is removed in such a short time. This is not normal for the body. The more fluid that has to be removed, the greater the chance of a person feeling tired and sick after dialysis.

2. Low dry weight

Low dry weight is an important value in measuring the quality of dialysis. If proper dry weight is maintained after dialysis, a patient has no extra fluid in his body and still feels well. However, if the weight falls below dry weight after dialysis, the patient may experience fatigue and other discomforts.

3. Low blood pressure

High blood pressure medicines are usually prescribed to people with renal failure. Usually, the blood pressure falls during the dialysis treatment. Therefore, the patients are told not to take medicines before dialysis. This is because as the medicine starts working and lowering the blood pressure an the machine is removing fluid and lowering blood pressure, the blood pressure may go too low, thus resulting in fatigue.

4. Anemia

Anemia can cause fatigue in people with kidney failure. This condition may become apparent during dialysis treatment.
