Brief Answer: Endocrine Detailed Answer: I am sorry to learn how you feel. The complexion you are alluding to, has been reported to occur in kidney conditions especially with a low haemoglobin count. When I see someone like you, I generally order the following blood tests: CBC Complete Metabolic Panel (electrolytes, calcium, sgot, sgpt, albumin) Glycosylated Haemoglobin Fructosamine TSH Fasting lipid profile Spot random morning Urine Albumin to Creatinine ratio intact PTH 25 hydroxy vitamin D levels Serum Bicarbonate levels Phosphorus Individuals with kidney problems that are long term often experience a sense of malaise and nausea. Please see a kidney specialist to see how this can be helped. Further, controlling your diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol is beneficial in protecting the kidneys
