Why it happens: Waste products accumulate in the blood, causing uremic toxins that irritate the skin.
What to notice: Persistent itchiness, dryness, or small rashes that aren’t related to allergies.
Action: Hydrate, use gentle moisturizers, and consult a doctor for kidney function tests.
3. Metallic Taste in Mouth or Bad Breath
Why it happens: Uremia (high waste products in blood) can alter taste and cause ammonia-like breath.
What to notice: Foods tasting different, constant metallic taste, or persistent bad breath despite oral hygiene.
Action: Seek a kidney function check and maintain oral care; dietary adjustments may help.
