With kidney failure we may suffer from various symptoms and this article aims at introducing gastrointestinal symptoms caused by kidney failure.
1. Nausea/vomit

Almost all the kidney failure patients can experience poor appetite. Patients may have no appetite even when they face their favorite foods.
3.Bad taste in mouth
Kidney failure patients may also found they have bad taste in their mouth which is mostly caused by high blood urea nitrogen level. Urea nitrogen is the end product of protein and is normally discharged by kidney. However, due to failed kidney, urea nitrogen can not be excreted successfully, as a result of which, blood urea nitrogen increase. In such a case, patients need to limit protein intake, so as to avoid elevating blood urea nitrogen level. Besides, Pay attention to oral hygiene.
