Muscle fatigue or muscle weakness is a common complication of kidney failure patients. It is a sense of weariness or exhaustion that you feel when using the muscle. Can kidney failure cause muscle fatigue? Yes, it can.
How does kidney failure cause muscle fatigue?
-The poorly functioning kidneys can not expel poisonous substance from the blood. As a result, they build up in the blood. The accumulated toxins may affect the normal function of muscles, leading to muscle tiredness.
-The damaged kidneys can not balance electrolytes in the blood. And they also affect the absorption to calcium and vitamin D. This can also lead to muscle weakness.
-The impaired kidneys can also not secrete enough erythropoietin to make red blood cells so that it reduces the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to muscles, thus muscles tire more easily.
-Diabetes is a common cause of kidney failure. As diabetes progresses, the blood supply to small nerves is lost. When the nerve serving a muscle fiber dies then the muscle fiber will also stop working so that your muscles get tired easily.
-Heart failure is a common complication of kidney failure. It can cause easy tiring of the muscles through a reduction in blood supply at times of high demand.
In addition, medicines, such as statins, antibiotics, painkillers, steroids and so on can also cause muscle weakness.
