Can somebody tell me why liver disease or kidney disease can make u smell lil bit?


I know this young lady she only 18, she has some type of liver diease which makes her smell.

I know it can, but why?

The body is trying to flush out toxins, so when the organs can't do it, it comes out in the breath and as sweat.

Both organs help remove toxins from the body. When they aren't working correctly there can be a distinct odor.

the liver and kidney extract toxins from your body and then you eliminate them so if they are not working properly then it would make sense for a smell tocome from her skin maybe get her a nice lotion or something....

Chemical waste products are created by metabolism and these chemicals are eventually filtered out of the blood by the kidneys or sweat glands. Many of the waste products smell like ammonia or sulfur. When things are working properly, nearly all the blood filtration occurs in the kidneys so the wastes don't reach high levels in the sweat glands. If the kidneys are not working properly, the sweat glands build up high concentrations of the waste products, and this creates a strong body odor.
