Symptoms
Signs of kidney disease share many of the same symptoms as other conditions which can cause a proper diagnosis to be delayed. Be sure to keep an eye out for these signs of kidney failure.
- Persistent itching
- Excessive urination or lack of urination
- Sleep issues
- Swelling of feet and ankles
- Muscle cramps
- Nausea and vomiting
- Chest pain (occurs when fluid builds up around the heart)
- Loss of appetite
- Weakness and fatigue
The common nature of many of these symptoms makes it more difficult to allow for diagnosis. In addition, it’s possible that the symptoms are coming from an underlying health condition. It could be this health condition causing the symptoms.
