Serious Warning Signs Of Kidney Cancer

Loss Of Appetite

Loss of appetite is the term used to describe the absence of an affected individual's desire to eat food. Appetite loss occurs in individuals affected by numerous types of cancer, including kidney cancer. Changes in an affected individual's metabolism can occur due to the adverse effects malignancy has on the body. Cancerous cells in the kidneys impair homeostatic functions that cause disruptions in the natural process of hunger signaling. Cells cannot produce enough usable cellular energy to supply all of the malignant cells and healthy cells in the body, causing the patient to feel weak and fatigued.

Appetite loss can occur as a result of a lack of energy to carry out the task of consuming food. Furthermore, cancerous tumors of the kidneys can cause an inappropriate buildup of certain toxins in the blood that would otherwise be filtered out by a kidney that does not contain cancer. These toxins interrupt normal metabolic processes and produce symptoms of nausea and vomiting due to organ toxicity. Pain, nausea, and vomiting are common causes of appetite loss.
