Question 1

does having kidney failure cause frequent vomiting?

Accepted Answer

Kidney Failure: Kidney failure with uremia (build up of urine toxins) can result in vomiting, but mild or moderate kidney failure usually does not have any vomiting.  When someone is close to end stage renal disease, that is when we expect to see nausea and vomiting.  However, acute renal failure can also result in these symptoms.

Question 2

why do people with kidney failure start shaking and having a fever & vomiting all of a sudden?

Accepted Answer

Renal failure: The shaking can be due to infection - failing kidneys make you more susceptible to infection.  It can also be due to your blood salts being abnormal.  This weblink is a good one to find out about the symptoms of renal failure: http://www.Livestrong.Com/article/168915-kidney-disease-symptoms-pains/. Reading this should give you a better understanding of what happens when kidneys fail.

Question 3

nausea and vomiting mostly in morning,sleep a lot,can't eat much,only drink pedialyte,very weak,every muscle aches. kidney failure? still urinating.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The symptoms of nausea/vomiting, loss of appetite, and fatigue are common in patients with renal failure.  Without knowing the full medical history it is difficult to given a full differential diagnosis.  Many patients do still make urine when they have early renal failure.  Recommend seeing your PCP for blood chemistry and urinalysis.

Question 4

how will a 23 year old get chronic kidney disease who is not diabetic, when diagnised was having high bp and metalic taste in mouth and vomiting?

Accepted Answer

Is it real?: Based on a fad for overinterpreting spot creatinine levels, every young man who's well-muscled is now being diagnosed with "chronic kidney disease", much to the chagrin of both the lab medicine and nephrology communities. Demand a proper diagnosis before you get turned into a kidney patient.

Question 5

does kidney failure cause back pain?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Kidney failure by itself may not cause back pain unless it is superimposed by kidney infection. If you have kidney failure, the symptoms are usually non specific like fatigue, loss of appetite, low urine output, dehydration etc.

Question 6

how does kidney failure cause nausea?

Accepted Answer

Complex: Anemia (low blood cell count) commonly occurs in kidney failure and can cause nausea.

More commonly, the uremic toxins (that the kidney normally filters), accumulate which suppresses appetite, causes, nausea, and can also cause confusion.

Question 7

why does kidney failure cause you to get fluid in your lungs?

Accepted Answer

No urine output: When the kidneys fail, the body loses the ability to excrete urine.  Therefore a person in kidney failure who drinks fluid will not be able to excrete this fluid.  Then this fluid will back up into the lungs.

Question 8

can e.coli caused kidney failure if untreated?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: A specific group of e. Coli (ehec-enterohemorrrhagic e. Coli) is responsible for acute renal failure, known as hemolytic uremic syndrome(hus), following bloody diarrhea.  Young children and elderly people are more susceptible to develop this complication.  Antibiotic treatments so far failed to prevent the development of hus.

Question 9

what causes acute kidney failure?

Accepted Answer

Toxic insults: Low blood pressure, interruption of blood flow, obstruction of urine flow, drug allergies, toxic drugs, autoimmune disease, heart failure, chronic liver disease, sepsis, 
 underlying problems such as diabetes and myeloma increase the chance for renal failure.

There are many causes, most are evident upon inspection of the patient, this requires expert attention and action to reverse the process.

could water cause kidney failure?
