Entire Body System
- Fatigue
Without enough of these amino acids, the body starts to experience the subtle signs of low oxygen, which typically manifests itself as low energy levels, fatigue and tiredness. [stack.com]
If the person has trouble excreting urine, like many patients with a compromised liver or kidneys, the waste from nitrogen builds up in the bloodstream causing nausea, headaches, fatigue, and further damage to the liver and kidneys. [arizonadigestivehealth.com]
Far from increasing energy, that eating style might leave you fatigued and nauseated. Constipation can also be a problem because animal-based protein sources provide little or no fiber. [consumerreports.org]
This will cause fatigue and a lack of hunger. If you have chronic kidney failure, eating this way can slow your need for dialysis for up to a year. With kidney failure, you may also need to make other changes. [winchesterhospital.org]
If the kidneys, which are responsible for excretion of urea, are not functioning properly (renal failure), or if high levels of protein are continually present in the diet, urea builds up in the bloodstream causing loss of appetite and fatigue. [freedieting.com]

- Noncompliance
RESULTS: Decline rate of GFR, elevation of Cr and BUN and reduction in 1/Cr were significantly lower in compliant patients than in noncompliant patients (p CONCLUSION: LPD therapy is effective in suppressing the progression of CRF when it is well-adhered [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
