Is there a correlation between kidney function and body odor?I need to see a neurologist. The doctor is concerned about my kidneys. My family is concerned about my strong odor. Is there a connection between kidney function and body odor? Please let me know. Thank you.
Dominee does depression play a part in this?

yes - when your kidneys do not function properly waste products and excess fluid then build up inside the body and can cause a foul body odor and breath that smells like urine.
You would usually have symptoms like persistent fatigue or shortness of breath; loss of appetite; increasingly higher blood pressure; pale skin; excessively dry, persistently itchy skin.
#1 & 2 causes for bad body odor are Diet and hormone level. **ALCOHOL consumption is included in diet...as well as all other beverages like soda and sugary juices.
If you have no other real symptoms ... i would put money on diet.

You need to get to a Specialist ASAP

A kidney doctor would be a nephrologist.
Sometimes, your urine will smell foul from the foods you eat - or from some type of infection that can be conquered w/ antibiotics
Lay off the sugary sweet soda's & sports drinks - and drink MUCH MORE water.
