Unexplained Weight Loss The Mysterious Shedding of Pounds
Advertisements

Unexplained weight loss can be a symptom of kidney-related problems. This can result from a loss of appetite, which can be caused by the buildup of waste products and toxins in the body that the kidneys are unable to filter effectively. Unexplained weight loss can also be a sign of more severe kidney problems, such as chronic kidney disease or kidney failure.

If you experience persistent, unexplained weight loss, particularly when combined with other kidney pain symptoms, it’s essential to seek medical advice. A healthcare professional can determine the cause of your weight loss and recommend appropriate treatment options. (15)
