Kidney Disease: What are the Symptoms?

What Are The Symptoms Of Kidney Disease?

Your kidneys are extremely important -- they filter out waste from the bloodstream and then expel it from the body as urine, so when the kidneys start to fail, it causes harmful waste to enter the body; other problems and diseases will start to surface. Early stages of kidney disease/kidney failure don’t have obvious symptoms, but if left untreated, it is always fatal. If symptoms of kidney disease DO come to light, it means they have already taken some damage and it’s imperative to seek treatment immediately. Here are some of the most common symptoms of kidney disease:

• Nausea and vomiting
  
• Fatigue and/or weakness
  
• Shortness of breath
  
• Difficulty sleeping
  
• Urinating more often; foamy urine
  
• Itching
  
• Swelling of feet, ankles and/or face
  
• Inability to think clearly or sudden memory issues
  
• Chronic bad breath
  
• High blood pressure/hypertension
