Kidney Dialysis, diarhhea, low blood pressure and fatigue?


My friends father has "Focal Segmental Glomular sclerosis" and he has low blood pressure frequently when he is done with dialysis although they continue to give him 200mg of metoprolol and lisinopril every day. He also has chronic fatigue and diarhhea. His elecrolytes are being monitored from time to time per my mother but he is so tired. He has been on dialysis for 3 1/2 years now. Is diarhhea normal for dialysis patients?

Yes it is. My husband was on dialysis and now has a new kidney. I hope your friend feels better soon.
