Kidney problems can also cause changes in skin color, with individuals developing a yellowish or brownish hue to their skin. This is due to the buildup of waste products, such as urea, in the bloodstream, which can cause the skin to take on a darker appearance. Additionally, anemia, which is common in individuals with renal failure, can cause the skin to appear pale or washed out.

If you notice any unexplained changes in your skin color, it’s essential to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider, as they may be indicative of renal failure or another underlying health issue. (14)
