Chronic Kidney Disease
Overview
Symptoms
The indicators and manifestations of chronic kidney disease typically manifest gradually as the damage advances slowly over time. Common signs may encompass:
- Nausea or Vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue and weakness
- Sleep disturbances
- Altered urination frequency
- Decreased mental acuity
- Muscle twitches and cramps
- Swelling in the feet and ankles
- Persistent itching
- Chest pain if fluid accumulates around the heart lining
- Shortness of breath if fluid builds up in the lungs
- Difficult-to-control high blood pressure (hypertension)
These symptoms are nonspecific and may be attributed to other illnesses. Due to the remarkable adaptability of the kidneys, compensatory mechanisms may mask signs until irreversible damage occurs.
