Another one of the most common and well-known symptoms of kidney disease, many people will find that their taste changes when they develop kidney disease. Usually, people describe this as tasting metallic. Some patients say it is like ‘drinking iron’.
Once again, this is due to a build up of wastes in the blood. These wastes come from your foods and include a number of heavy metals. Not only does this end up affecting your taste directly, but it can also cause changes in your appetite as your body essentially tells you that it no longer needs certain minerals.
