What are the Signs and Symptoms of DCD?
Dialysis can deplete the body's carnitine level. When your carnitine levels become low, your muscles don't get the energy they need. This can make you feel tired and weak. It can also have a negative effect on the pumping action of your heart muscle and lead to low blood pressure during your treatment session. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms you may be experiencing DCD and not even be aware of it. You should always talk with your doctor about any health changes you may be experiencing.
