Abstract
Anorexia, nausea and vomiting in patients with severe renal failure may cause or contribute to development of protein-energy malnutrition, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, the specific mechanisms that cause appetite suppression in uremia are poorly understood. This review summarizes the general mechanisms by which appetite is regulated. Various factors are discussed that may potentially be involved in appetite suppression in chronic renal failure.
