My symptons

Post by Notso »

About once a month I suffer from terrible nausea and extreme fatigue as well as headaches sometimes.

Looking at my bloods, the following are high

Creatinine
Urea

and the following are low

Haemoglobin
Red Cell Count
Haematocrit

I don't supposed it matters much but I am wondering which one causes this problem, I guess being anaemic would cause the fatigue but what about the nausea? Any ideas anyone?

From the NHS site:

http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Anaemia-ir ... ptoms.aspx

While it may not be common, I definitely feel 'off my food' and a bit nauseous if I'm anaemic

Hi levels of urea or creatinine may contribute to nausea.

I would say these are 'normal' symptoms for kidney failure.

I think it would be best to discus them with your Consultant or GP.

Good luck.
