Can Kidney Disease Cause Bad Taste in Mouth

You may notice a bad taste in your mouth if you are a patient of kidney failure. Some patients call the taste metabolic taste and describe it as drinking iron. With a bad taste in mouth, kidney failure patients usually do not feel like eating anything, because of which they may become waste away. Well then, how does kidney failure cause bad taste in mouth at all? What can we do to remit it?
What causes bad taste in mouth for people with kidney disease?
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is the metabolic product of protein, which is mainly removed by kidney. If your kidneys are not able to remove urea from the blood normally, your BUN level rises. The urea breaks down to form ammonia. It is believed that ammonia causes bad taste in mouth.
A bad taste in your mouth may cause you to lose your appetite and may even cause you to vomit. Therefore, taking proper measures to eliminate the odor in the mouth is very important for your wellbeing.
How to manage kidney failure patients’ bad taste in the mouth?
Because of different underlying causes, kidney failure patients have a series of symptoms and complications. All in all, all of these problems are attributed to low kidney function.
To alleviate the bad taste in the mouth and maintain patients’ basic life, dialysis may be recommended. In most cases, dialysis can ease patients’ symptoms caused by deposits of toxins, but it may cause some side effects and can do nothing for kidney function. What’s worse, the longer patients on dialysis, the less their urine output. In view of this, we give out several alternative treatments for these patients.
1. Hemofiltration and CRRT: Compared with dialysis, both of these two Blood Purification methods can help prevent blood stream dynamics change and protect the remaining kidney function.

2. Clear Blood Pollution Therapy: Combined with blood purification and traditional Chinese medicine, this therapy can not only eliminate waste products and toxins but also repair damaged but not necrotic kidney cells. So far, this therapy has helped quite a number of patients avoid dialysis. However, not all patients can use this therapy. Consult the doctor online to determine whether you can take Clear Blood Pollution Therapy.
