Is Lack Of Appetite And Weight Gain Sign Of Kidney Problem?
I can't remember the last time that I felt well. Monday I had some blood and urine tests and my potassium was 5.7. My Dr. said that my kidneys were fine but I wonder as I do have several symptoms of kidney problems; no appetite, weight gain.occasionally itchy skin and always tired.

Hi,
if you have a kidney problem you will have fluid accumulation and swelling leading to weight gain. If there is no fluid accumulation you do not have kidney problem. You should check for other causes of loss of appetite.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Geeta Sundar
