Could Fatigue, Loss Of Appetite And Diarrhea Indicate Kidney Failure?
My dad is 86 with AF that is being managed with medication. He has had a recent blood test that shows poor kidney function. He has increasing symptoms of lethargy and is tired most of the time. In the last while his appetite has gone and in the last two days had an episode of diarrhea and vomiting with some stomach pain. Could he have kidney failure?.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your father the symptoms that you have stated here may be due to the infection and not the direct indication of kidney problem, but still in my opinion the infection part of urinary tract has to be ruled out, hope this information helps you have nice day.
