Some patients with kidney disease may also have symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding, such as vomiting blood, melena, etc. This may also lead to the growth of bacteria in the mouth, resulting in bad breath. If the patient also has gingivitis, dental caries, etc., it may also lead to the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, which may cause bad breath.If you develop bad breath symptoms after being diagnosed with kidney disease, it is recommended to go to the urology department of the hospital in time and actively cooperate with the doctor to treat the original disease. If bad breath is caused by uremia, it can be treated with sodium bicarbonate tablets, furosemide tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
