Question: Hello, I have stage 4 kidney disease. My function is 19% for the last 2 weeks. I have been throwing up my dinner. What can I do to treat this symptom?

Answer: In stage 4 kidney disease, your GFR ranges from 15 to 30, and your kidneys have been severely damaged so that a lot of waste products build up in the blood and cause a series of complications. For example, it is common to see urea level to increase in kidney failure. Urease decomposes urea into ammobia, which stimulates gastrointestinal mucosa and causes nausea and vomiting. What is your urea level now? If it is quite high, it is necessary for you to lower it if you want to treat your problem of throwing up.

Treatment to lower urea level for patients with stage 4 kidney disease

-In diet, you need to lower your protein intake. Urea is a byproduct of protein. By reducing protein intake can help you lower urea level to certain extent.

-In medication, you can take some drugs to help cleanse waste products from the blood, for example, medicinal charcoal, ketosteril, uremic clearance granule, etc.

However, the reason why urea level elevates is that your kidney function declines. If you can not restore your renal function, urea is still not able to be passed out of body, and its level will rise again. Therefore, you had better follow a treatment to repair kidney damage and promote renal function.

Moreover, it can eliminate renal inflammation and prevent the disease from getting worse.

After a short period of treatment, symptoms such as swelling, proteinuria, nausea, vomiting, and so on will get relieved greatly, and you will have a good appetite.

After a long period of treatment, your disease will be under control, and renal function will get improved.
