Many patients with DN complain body odor, which company with them every minute even after the shower or bath. So some patients with body odor are becoming more and more self-abased. Why patients with DN suffer the annoying symptom?

Causes

As we all know, the kidney is one of the excretory organ of our body, there are lots of waste getting out of our body everyday. If the patients get the diabetic nephropathy, the kidney function will be reduced seriously. As a result, the urea, guanidine compound, creatinine, and amine will be stained in body. So the patients will appear body odor.

High PTH may also be the reason of body odor for diabetic nephropathy patients. With the kidney function is declining, excess phosphorus builds up in the blood gradually, which will lead to the low calcium level. To make up it, parathyroid gland will produce more hormones to maintain patients’ calcium level. So the patients will sweat excessively. Once the sweat interacts with bacteria on the skin, it is more likely to cause body odor.

Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy have a big difference in treating their body odor. If you are also suffering from this problem and want to get rid of it, you are supposed to pay more attention to the following suggestions.

1 Restrict the intake of phosphorus. For people with Diabetic Nephropathy should have a proper intake of phosphorus, generally 800-1000mg is the good choice.
