A member asked:
Can kidney diseases cause muscle twitching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : The kidneys are one of the main regulators of your electrolytes, such as potassium for example. So problems in the kidneys can cause electrolyte abnormalities which can affect muscle function and tone. Don't hesitate to be seen if you are having problems.
