Etymology
The term "uremic fetor" is derived from two Latin words: "uremia," which means urine, and "fetor," which means stench. This term is used to describe the unusual and unpleasant odor that is present in the breath of individuals suffering from advanced stages of chronic kidney disease or renal failure.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The primary symptom of uremic fetor is a strong, unpleasant odor in the breath, often described as being similar to the smell of urine or ammonia. This odor is typically noticeable to others and may be more pronounced after the individual has eaten protein-rich foods. Diagnosis of uremic fetor typically involves a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history, particularly any history of kidney disease or renal failure.
