Appetite surely decreases in kidney disease and dietary restrictions leads to weight loss. Potential complications may include: fluid retention, which could lead to swelling in your arms and legs, high blood pressure, or fluid in your lungs (pulmonary edema) a sudden rise in potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia), which could impair your heart's ability to function and may be life-threatening.
