Kidney problems, for me at least, are one of the worst problems that a person can get. Many people are not aware of the fact that kidney disease is one of the most deadly silent killers.
At any stage of kidney disease, knowledge is power. Knowing the symptoms could save your life!
Changes in Urination
The kidneys make urine, so when the kidneys are failing, there is a possibility the urine may change.
You could have to get up late at night to urinate, foamy or bubbly, find yourself urinating more often, less often, contains blood, or you could feel pressure.
Difficulty or pain
Sometimes you could have difficulty or feel pressure or pain while voiding. This could indicate a UTI, which, may cause symptoms such as pain or burning during urination.
Pain in the back or sides
This is one of the most common indications of kidney disease, but it is not seen in all people suffering from the condition. The pain in characteristic and you may feel a severe cramping pain that spreads from the lower back to the groin.
Lack of Appetite
This is a common symptom due to the buildup of toxins and waste materials in the body.
Swelling
Failing kidneys do not remove excess fluid, which builds up in the body causing swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, ace, and hands.
Fatigue
Healthy kidneys excrete hormones called erythropoietin; it is safe to tell your body to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells.
Skin Rash/Itching
Kidneys remove waste from the bloodstream. When the kidneys begin to fail, the build-up of wastes in your blood can cause severe itching.
Nausea and Vomiting
The build-up of waste products in your blood can cause both of these.
Dizziness
Anemia associated with kidney disease also depletes the brain of oxygen which may cause dizziness.
Cold Feeling
If you have kidney disease, you may have a cold feeling all of the time.
