Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Has anyone experienced any of these with this medicaion? Could this be why they are neaseated? Itching? Seizing? Many have died from renal failure per the FDA adverse reactions. CRF Signs and Symptoms Chronic renal failure (CRF) usually produces symptoms when renal function — which is measured as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) — falls below 30 milliliters per minute (< 30 mL/min). This is approximately 30% of the normal value. When the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) slows to below 30 mL/min, signs of uremia (high blood level of protein by-products, such as urea) may become noticeable. When the GFR falls below 15 mL/min most people become increasingly symptomatic. Uremic symptoms can affect every organ system, most noticeably the following: Neurological system–cognitive impairment, personality change, asterixis (motor disturbance that affects groups of muscles), seizures (rare) Gastrointestinal system–nausea, vomiting, food distaste (often described as bland, metallic, "like cardboard") Blood-forming system–anemia due to erythropoetin deficiency, easy bruising and bleeding due to abnormal platelets Pulmonary system–fluid in the lungs, with breathing difficulties Cardiovascular system –chest pain due to inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart (pericarditis) and pericardial effusion (fluid accumulation around the heart) Skin –generalized itching http://www.nephrologychannel.com/crf/symptoms.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
