WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD)?

Early Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) may have no symptoms.
You may be wondering how you can get CKD and feel better. Our kidneys have more capacity to do their job than is necessary to keep us healthy. For example, you can donate one kidney and still be healthy. You can have kidney damage without any symptoms because despite the damage, your kidneys are still working well enough to keep you feeling well. For many people, the only way to know if you have kidney disease is to check your kidneys with blood and urine tests.

As kidney disease progresses, a person may develop swelling. If the kidneys cannot get rid of excess fluid and salt, swelling occurs. Swelling  can appear on the feet or ankles, less often on the hands or face.

chest pain;
dry skin;
itching or numbness;
feeling tired;
head. pain; increased or decreased urination; loss of appetite; muscle cramps; nausea; shortness of breath; sleep problems; concentration problems trouble;
vomiting;
weight loss.

People with SBK may also develop anemia, bone disease, and malnutrition.
