Hi thanks for writings you have said your wife has CKD 4. The symptoms such as nausea, omitting, poor appetite, muscle aches may be symptoms of advance kidney dysfunction. The renal function should be checked and if creatinine is high patient might need dialysis. Meanwhile, symptomatic treatment for omitting should be offered. I will be glad to answer any queries. Ply attach recent labs when you communicate next time. Tx
