Side Effect of Dialysis: What are the Causes and How to Treat Them

Dialysis can replace part of our kidney filtration function, but it is more likely to cause some side effects, after all the dialyzer is not one of our own organs. The following are some side effects that are commonly caused by kidney dialysis and the ways to relieve it, let us have a look together.

Nausea and vomiting

Too rapid flow of dialysis liquid will make the body remove toxins quickly, while the patient’s head still has a lot of toxins. Then, nausea and vomiting easily occurs. In other cases, people’s nausea and vomiting is associated with their kidney diseases such as CKD 3 or CKD4. In view of this, you should tell your doctor or nurses to slow the speed of your dialysis liquid, if you are suffering from this maddening feeling.

Low blood pressure

Low blood pressure, one of most common side effects of dialysis, is usually due to too much gaining fluid between sessions of dialysis. To avoid it, patients should control the intake of fluid in daily life. Less than a quart of water except the one which is discharged from the body and low-salt diet is recommended for people on dialysis.

Muscle cramps

During the session of kidney dialysis, some patients may experience muscle cramps, which are commonly caused by a lot of fluid lost in the course of kidney dialysis. If you are suffering from it, you had better consult your doctor or us to find correct treatments.

Itchy skin

Itchy skin is another common side effect of dialysis and often caused by high level of potassium in the body. Control the intake of high-potassium foods is helpful for remitting it.
