Gastrointestinal Tract
In untreated uremic patients, gastroenteritis and/or colitis is frequently reported. Patients may present with anorexia, nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal bleeding. These symptoms may improve when dialysis is instituted. In addition, there are abnormalities in the motility of the gastrointestinal tract in some patients as well as abnormalities in the absorptive functions of the gut.
Particularly in patients on dialysis, hepatitis is common owing to exposure to blood and blood products. Transaminase activity in serum, however, may be only minimally elevated in patients with significant liver disease because of suppression in transaminase activity in uremic serum.
