Nausea or vomiting
Headaches
Being tired
Being unable to concentrate
Itching
Making little or no urine
Swelling, especially around the eyes and ankles

While, what can patients do to alleviate swelling in eyes and ankles?
Hemodialysis: This treatment which can be done in a center or in a patient’s home with assistance from a care partner. A dialysis machine removes a small amount of toxic substances from patient’s blood through a man-made membrane, which is called a dialyzer. Dialysis cleans out toxins that the kidneys can no longer remove.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD): Unlike hemodialysis, PD is a needle-free treatment and a care partner is not required to to help assist during treatment. PD can be performed at home or at work.
Kidney Transplant is another treatment option for patients to alleviate swelling in eyes and ankles.
