Vomiting may be a result of high BUN level in the blood.

IgA Nephropathy can make kidneys lose their function to filter waste. Urea is a waste product of protein. When kidney function declines, blood urea nitrogen level increases. There is a kind of enzyme in intestinal tract called urease, which can decompose urea nitrogen into ammonia. And ammonia will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to nausea and vomiting. This condition may become worse in the morning, because we seldom drink water at night and sometimes we urinate to flush out fluid, as a result, there is a high concentration of blood urea nitrogen.

In addition, vomiting may result from dialysis or the medication you take.

This therapy can remove immune complexes, the inflammatory factors from the blood to eliminate kidney inflammation. This therapy can also block the abnormal immune reaction and increase the kidney’s tolerance to immune complexes so as to prevent inflammation.
