Hello, guys. My brother suffers from glomerulonephritis and he is about to start with kidney dialysis. I know that this is not easy for him, but I have also heard something negative about dialysis. I would like to hear something more about disadvantages of this kind of treatment. Thanks in advance.
Hi, there. You have heard well. Dialysis can bring some disadvantages. Some of them are: nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle cramps, etc. There can be a sudden drop of blood pressure (hypotensia). Anemia is also reported. Itching (pruritus) and bad sleeping are also possible. If anyone suffers from any of these disadvantages or side effects, then one should talk to a doctor. By adjusting this treatment they can be avoided. In any way, this therapy is very important. I think it is more important than the advantages it brings. In any case, talk to the professionals if you have any doubts.
