10 Renal Failure Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Metallic Tastes
Another condition that can result from renal failure is known as uremia, which is the accumulation of toxic wastes in the bloodstream. The symptoms of uremia include an altered sense of taste as well as bad breath. Specifically, food tends to taste like metal.
While the symptom is more apparent when eating food, many people experience an unpleasant metallic taste regardless of whether or not they’re eating. Some people lose weight as a result of not wanting to eat food. Many patients also lose the desire to eat red meat, which is dense in minerals.
