Is Blackening of the Face and Nighttime Grinding Related to Kidney Disease?

Question

My child is experiencing a blackened face and nighttime grinding. I would like to inquire if this could be related to kidney disease?

Answer

Hello, based on the information you provided, your child may be suffering from a viral respiratory infection. During the treatment process, your child has developed a blackened face. This symptom may be caused by parasitic infection or a deficiency of trace elements. We recommend that you take your child to the hospital for routine stool examination and trace element index testing to confirm the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
