A member asked:
Have kidney disease stage 2, still appetite is ok but having unintentional weight loss 12kg in 4 months, it is due to kidney disease or else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably else: When your kidneys fail they stop making urine and you retain urine and gain wt. you present with unintentional rapid wt loss. That has to be worked up pronto. See a good internist right away. Oy Vay!!!
