sir i am suffering from a problem of bad breath and smell for past four years,i have consult for a dentist also he told every thing is normal,then whai is the cause for it?my friend told that due 2 the kidney failure it comes is it true?
Dear Patient, sure, this is called uremic breath. This is due by the elimination of some volatile molecules containing above with the breath. This happens when serum academia starts to be high. To be sure about this, please do blood tests searching for serum academia. If it is high, you can reduce these symptoms with a low protein diet with or without the supplement of protein food. I suggest discussing this problem with your nephrologist. Maybe your kidney function is getting worse. Take care.
