Vomiting after dialysis is a known concern and can be particularly dangerous because it can lead to dehydration, which puts extra strain on the kidneys.
Some symptoms like these can also be connected to things happening in the body during or after dialysis, such as:
- Buildup of waste or toxins in the blood (uremia)
- Fluid and electrolyte imbalances
- Changes in blood pressure
- Anemia (low red blood cells) These are not symptoms to brush off or wait out. Passing out, seizures, and vomiting after dialysis are signs that something may need to be adjusted in your treatment plan.
It's really important to contact your nephrologist or healthcare team right away about these symptoms. They may be able to:
- Adjust your dialysis schedule or settings
- Check for underlying causes like fluid overload or electrolyte issues
- Review your medications for any contributing factors
Please don't try to manage these symptoms on your own with over-the-counter medications without checking with your doctor first, as some common OTC drugs are not safe with kidney disease.
