Kidney disease is characterized by the type of kidney disease and the severity of the symptoms

#Ethiopia | Symptoms of kidney disease

The symptoms of kidney disease vary from person to person.

The type of kidney disease is characterized by the severity of the symptoms.

The symptoms are often vague and non-threatening. 

Therefore, it is difficult to recognize the presence of pain in the early stages of the disease.

Common symptoms of kidney disease

• Facial swelling

Swelling of the face, abdomen, and legs is often a sign of kidney disease. 

One characteristic of swelling caused by kidney disease is that it is first noticeable under the eyelids.

This is most noticeable in the morning.

However, it is important to note that swelling does not necessarily indicate kidney damage. In some kidney diseases, swelling occurs despite normal kidney function (for example, nephrotic syndrome).

It is also important to understand that swelling may not be present in some patients, even if the disease is severe.

• Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting

Loss of appetite, unusual taste in the mouth, and poor appetite are common problems in people with kidney disease. 

As kidney disease progresses, the levels of toxins that cause nausea, vomiting, and mental illness increase.

• High blood pressure

Patients with kidney disease often have high blood pressure. 

If blood pressure is diagnosed at a young age (under 30 years) or if blood pressure is very high at the time of diagnosis, kidney disease should be suspected.

• Anemia and weakness

Fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and pale skin are common symptoms of a person with anemia. Sometimes, they may be the only symptoms a person has in the early stages of chronic kidney disease. 

If a person with anemia does not improve with standard treatment with conventional medications, kidney disease should be suspected.

Additional symptoms—low back pain, general body aches, and itching and pain in the legs—are common symptoms of kidney disease. Failure to thrive, short stature, and a misaligned spine are signs of kidney disease in children.

Common symptoms

1. Decreased urine output is common in various kidney diseases.

2. Burning sensation during urination, frequent urination (unusual frequency), and blood or pus in the urine are symptoms of kidney disease.

3. Blockage of the urinary tract can cause difficulty in passing urine.

Although a person may exhibit some of the symptoms listed above, it does not necessarily mean that the person has kidney disease.

However, in cases where such symptoms are present, it is necessary to consult a doctor and confirm the presence or absence of kidney disease and other diseases through blood and urine tests.
