Kidney Failure Sign #9: Poor Appetite
Buildup of waste materials and toxins in blood which is known as uremia, poor digestion and the resultant stomach upset, nausea and vomiting can adversely affect your appetite. Uremia can also interfere with the workings of your taste buds so that you can no longer enjoy the true taste of food. Instead, some foods may taste like metal.
This is not a good feeling and you may not like to eat. A poor appetite can worsen the signs of kidney failure by denying the body the nutrients it requires for maintenance and energy production. It can also lead to loss of weight without trying.
