Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Mingchuan
Loss of appetite in advanced kidney cancer is due to impaired digestive function, which leads to food stagnation in the spleen and stomach. At this stage, intravenous nutritional fluids can be administered to improve physical strength. Diet should consist of easily digestible, light, and readily absorbable foods. Avoid overly greasy or spicy foods.
