Bad breath, known as a medical term of halitosis, is more than just an embarrassing problem. It may have relations with kidney problems. What’s the matter? Let’s have a look together.
As a matter of fact, bad breath is an indication of some Immunotherapyatic diseases, and these Immunotherapyatic diseases include:
●Kidney Problems
●Diabetes
●Cancer

Here we focus on the bad breath caused by kidney problems. What are the reasons that kidney problems could lead to bad breath?
Our kidneys have an important role in getting rid of body’s toxins and wastes. When there are kidney problems, especially when the kidney disease has progressed into the later stage of end stage renal disease(ESRD), abundant toxins in the blood are unable to be removed out of the body along with urine, so they have to linger in the blood, when the concentration of these toxins increases to a certain level, some volatilizable toxins will be excreted out of the body form the lung’s process of inspiration and expiration.
So patients with ESRD often have a urine-like taste in their mouth. But do not worry too much, these toxins will not infect others.
Bad mouth, or halitosis, also refers that patients, especially those ESRD patients, may feel ammonia odor in his or her mouth, the reason for ammonia odor is caused by the release of ammonia by microorganism containing urine enzyme.
Sometimes the patients may feel it is as the urine-like odor, sometimes it is like the fertilizer taste, and also sometimes it smells stinky. In fact, mouth tastes often change according to the degrees of patients’ diseases.
Now, I hope you may get a bit of knowledge especially the relations between kidney problems and bad breath. Only the kidney problems are solved by effective treatment, for example Immunotherapy used in our hospital, situations like bad mouth could disappear.
