People with stage 3 chronic kidney disease may have some undesirable body changes including body odor. In addition to body odor, urine-like odor to the breath may also affect patients with Stage 3 CKD. These must make patients feel less attractive and affect their life quality a lot.
The reasons of odor for kidney patients
Normally, urea is the substance that can make the urine odor. In stage 3, kidney function has a moderate decline, so kidneys are unable to play their role so perfectly. In this case, metabolic waste such as creatinine and urea are more likely to deposit in the blood, and these waste products can build up in any part of the body via blood circulation. This is one leading cause of body and breath odor for patients with Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease.
Besides, infections may also cause body odor, while unhealthy eating habits or eating some spicy foods can induce breath odor.
Why odor isn’t common in stage 3 kidney disease?
The reason is that even though kidneys in stage 3 are not functioning at 100%, they can still eliminate most of metabolic waste products from the body. Thereby, it is uncommon for this part of waste products to trigger body odor, but in some cases, stage 3 chronic kidney disease indeed causes this problem.
How to get rid of body odor or breath odor for these patients?
The key is to cleanse the blood circulation and improve patients’ immunity. In view of this, patients can try Cycle Therapy, Hot Compress Therapy and Clear Blood Pollution Therapy.
Cycle Therapy and Hot Compress Therapy can remove waste products respectively through skin and kidney. Besides, they are also able to boost patients’ immune system. Clear Blood Pollution Therapy is used to normalize blood circulation and rebuild kidney structure.
With these therapies, stage 3 chronic kidney disease can be managed from the root, as well as odor.
