Yes, kidney failure can cause the skin to turn yellow, a condition known as jaundice. This occurs due to the accumulation of bilirubin, a substance produced from the breakdown of red blood cells, which the kidneys are unable to properly filter out. Additionally, kidney failure can lead to other complications that may contribute to changes in skin color. If jaundice is observed, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Do your eyes change color when kidneys fail?
Yes, the whites of your eyes and your skin will have a yellowish color to them if your kidneys fail. This is known as jaundice, and the yellow color is from bilirubin, which is a breakdown product of heme (a principle part of red blood cells). Bilirubin is formed when the liver breaks down the heme. Heme is then normally removed by the kidneys and is passed by the urine, but if the kidneys are not functioning, the heme, along with other waste products, will make their way back into the bloodstream.
