Salty mouth is not necessarily related to nephritis and uremia.
Chinese medicine believes that the salty taste is related to the kidney, so when there is a salty taste in the mouth, it mostly suggests that the kidney qi is deficient, unable to transform water, and the water is evil. However, the concept of kidney in Chinese medicine is not exactly the same as the concept of kidney in modern medicine, and the evidence of kidney qi deficiency can be seen in a variety of diseases in modern medicine, but not necessarily nephritis or uremia.
To confirm the diagnosis of nephritis and uremia, it is necessary to combine the patient’s symptoms and medical history to conduct a comprehensive examination. For example, whether there are symptoms of edema, hypertension, abnormalities in liver and kidney function, and whether there is proteinuria in routine urine examination. Salty mouth alone can not determine what disease.
Salty mouth symptoms do not necessarily mean nephritis or uremia, you can go to the regular hospital, relevant examinations, do not blindly take medication, so as not to cause adverse consequences, endangering health.
