Why Do Patients Feel Tired And Nauseous After Dialysis?

Several times’ dialysis in one week or one month may make the patients frustrated. If they are tired and nauseous after dialysis, they will feel that every dialysis is tormenting them and they may reject dialysis as the time goes on. So to find out the reasons which make them tired and nauseous is very important for dialysis patients to stop these discomforts from happening.
According to the clinical research, dialysis patients’ nausea and tiredness due to several reasons (low blood pressure, infection, severe anemia, allergic reaction, etc). Next we will discuss each of these reasons more detailedly.
Low blood pressure
The incidence of low blood pressure accounts for 25-60 percent, so it is one of the most common causes, if not the most common cause, of patients’ tiredness and nausea after dialysis. In the dialysis treatment, a lot of fluid is removed to prevent it from accumulating in the body and producing too much urine. But the more fluid that has been removed, the greater the chance of dialysis patients feeling tired and nauseous will be.
Infection
Infection, as a common cause, can be observed easily. It indicates the patients have been infected if fever and chill occur after the dialysis, and the infection can damage not only the kidney but also many other organs. So dialysis patients should let their doctor or nurse know their problem.
Severe anemia
Ordinary people suffering severe anemia usually feel very tired and dizzy. The dialysis patients’ reaction to severe anemia must be stronger because much nutrition is lost during the dialysis. Then severe anemia can aggravate the dialysis patients’ tiredness and nausea.
Allergic reaction
The number of the dialysis patients suffering from the allergic reaction may be smaller than the above reasons, but it can also make the patients have an ill feeling once the patients have an allergic reaction to the dialyzer. So the patients should not ignore this reason.
Feeling tired and nauseous can make dialysis patients painful and a long-time reaction to dialysis may cause these patients’ rejection to dialysis, so they can’t live with it happily. Now since we have known the reasons which cause patients’ bad feeling, we must help them to prevent these reasons.
