Symptom #6: Twitching Muscles
Our blood supplies the whole body with nutrients and oxygen, and the muscles are among the biggest consumers. Even when the demand is increased due to exercise then the blood will still be able to keep up in meeting the demand. If the kidneys are failing, however, then they cannot supply the muscles so well.
Not only can the blood struggle to supply the muscles, but it can also cause damage to them by circulating toxins around them. This can lead to the muscles and the nerves becoming damaged over time. This damage can lead to an involuntary twitching of the muscles.
