Hi thanks for writing
As you have said your wife has CKD 4. The symptoms such as nausea, vomitting , 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 vomitting should be offered.
I will be glad to answer any queries. PLz attach recent labs when you conmunicate next time.
