Early stage kidney disease typically causes no noticeable symptoms. As function declines, subtle signs like foamy urine, puffiness around the eyes, swollen ankles, fatigue, and increased nighttime urination
1. Less Energy or Trouble Concentrating
A severe decrease in kidney function can lead to a buildup of toxins and impurities in the blood, cause people to feel tired or weak and can make it hard to concentrate.
2. Trouble sleeping
When the kidneys aren't filtering properly, toxins stay in the blood rather than leaving the body through the urine, can make it difficult to sleep.
3. Dry and itchy skin
Can be a sign of the mineral and bone disease that often accompanies advanced kidney disease, or when the kidneys are no longer able to keep the right balance of minerals and nutrients in your blood.
4. Urinating more frequently
When the kidney's filters are damaged, it can cause an increase in the urge to urinate.
5. Blood in urine
In addition to signaling kidney disease, blood in the urine can be indicative of tumors, kidney stones, or an infection.
6. Foamy urine
Excessive bubbles in the urine – especially those that require you to flush several times before they go away—indicate protein in the urine.
7. Persistent puffiness around eyes
This puffiness around your eyes can be due to the fact that your kidneys are leaking a large amount of protein in the urine, rather than keeping it in the body.
8. Swollen ankles and feet
Swelling in the lower extremities can also be a sign of heart disease, liver disease and chronic leg vein problems.
9. Poor appetite
This is a very general symptom, but a buildup of toxins resulting from reduced kidney function can be one of the causes.
10. Muscle cramping
Electrolyte imbalances can result from impaired kidney function. For example, low calcium levels and poorly controlled phosphorus may contribute to muscle cramping.
