Lack of appetite and nausea are the initial symptoms of perionitis. These are quickly followed by abdominal pain, which usually begins as a dull ache in your abdomen before progressing to s steady and severe pain.

Malnutrition

Due to strict dietary restrictions, patients are prone to suffer from malnutrition. It is reported that malnutrition is also a leading cause for appetite for dialysis patients.

Uremia

Considering that lack of appetite is one of the manifestations of uraemia, it seems plausible to expect that this symptom may be improved by increasing the dose of dialysis. One possible explanation for this negative finding is the effect of post-dialysis fatigue on reducing appetite.
