Loss of appetite & nausea

I have ckd stage 4 with proteinuria, anemia, high bp & chesterol.

Past month or so I've been feeling increasing nausea (occassionally leading to actual vomitting) I find most food unappetising.

Does anyone have similar experience or tips?

Yes, before I was diagnosed with renal failure (around 20 years ago) I was being sick every day. Just thought I needed to lower my thyroxine as that could make me feel poorly if too high. The body can't get rid of the toxins and so makes you feel poorly and also makes you lose your appetite. Are you eating too much of something in particular? I find that when we have been out for breakfast and I have scrambled eggs, I feel very nauseas after and think it might be because there is too much protein. Sorry, not an expert, but do know how you feel x Someone on here will have some tips

Hi. I was diagnosed with CKD 28 years ago, biopsy showed secondary FSGS three years ago. I had what I called morning sickness for about nine months, about 15 years ago. There were other kidney issues that had cropped up due to misdiagnosis, incorrect medications, etc. The new doctor sent me to a renal dietitian to help sort out my diet. I'd been on a sodium restricted diet since 19, so salt itself wasn't the issue. Long story short, my protein intake was over 100g a day. I was restricted to 40g a day and I was diligent about counting those grams!! The morning sickness cleared up and the only time I have issues with the nausea is when I know I 'cheated' on my diet. I hope this may help some.

Talk to your consultant about it as I did , I found snacking was better for me to start me eating properly again , The dietician will assist you as to what to eat , i found a variety of foods was better than a set meal routine . I also got a capsule from the consultant to easy the sickness along with a binder helped. When they test your bloods they can tell what your lacking and possibly put you on an iron suppliment . The nausea could be caused by a build up which will show up in your bloods.

Thanks for your responses - I'll definitely be bringing it up at my next meeting with consultant. xx
