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
If you or a loved one experience more than one of the above symptoms, it’s time to get a check up. It’s always better to be safe than sorry and the earlier you catch kidney disease, the easier it is to manage. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

It was really helpful when you said that some symptoms are nausea and shortness of breath. My sister was telling me last night about how she was struggling with some of the symptoms and was wondering what the problem could be. I'll make sure to pass this information along to her so she can look into getting tested for kidney disease.
