Published on Jun 28 2010, in the categories: kidney disease

Many people who suffer from kidney disease don’t know it because the early symptoms of kidney disease are very subtle. Some people find out after many years about this disease and it takes several years to go from kidney disease to kidney failure. Some of the people live their life without getting kidney failure.

It’s important to know the symptoms of kidney disease so that you can prevent worsening disease and help you to get the treatment you need to feel great again.



If you or someone has one of the following symptoms of kidney disease then, you should see a doctor and do a blood test and urine.



Here are the symptoms that you may have if you suffer from this kidney disease:Symptom 1: Changes in Urination Kidneys produces urine, so when the kidney failing, the urine may change. How the urine can change?

-         You may have to wake up in the night and go to urinate

-         You may urinate less frequently, or in smaller quantity than usual with dark colored urine.

-         Your urine can contain blood.

-         Urine may be foamy or bubbly. You may urinate more often, or in greater amounts than normal, with light urine.

-         You may feel pressure or have difficulty urinating.

I have read here what patients say about this disease: "When you go to use the restroom, you couldn't get it all out. And it would still feel just like tightness down there, there was so much pressure."

Symptom 2: Swelling
Failing kidneys don’t eliminate extra fluid, which build up in your body causing swelling in the legs, feet, face, ankles and/or hands.



Symptom 3: Fatigue
Healthy kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin that inform your body to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they produce less erythropoietin. With fewer red bloods cells to carry the oxygen, your brain and muscles will become tired very fast. This condition is called anemia.

The patient say: "I was constantly exhausted and didn't have any pep or anything."

Kidney diseases are very painful and they can be very harsh on the body. A kidney disease will feel like anything but what you would expect from it. When you expect a sharp pain, the pain will be dull, and when you expect dull pain, you will be coiled up like a snake, not knowing which way to go or what to do to relieve some of the pain.

Kidney disease symptoms pain, as I have said before, is a very bad type of pain. It ranks right up there with tooth aches and stomach pain. When you are feeling pain this means that you have some problems which cannot be simply solved by drinking some tea, or taking some medicine. You need to go to the doctor. Stop lying to yourself and start taking care of yourself.

There are many types of kidney diseases, but only some of them have pain as a symptom. Kidney disease symptoms, pain, reasons, developments and cures can be obtained online and offline, but only in theory, if all you do is to ask a friend. Going online and searching for the things you are feeling might give you a general idea of what you are faced with and what you should do to overcome this condition, but what happens if you are wrong? Then you might end up trying to cure a disease you do not have, and, in the process, creating a new disease in your system. What then? You will be faced with two disease, two types of pain, two different sets of pills and cures and so on. Not a very wise choice, is it?


If your back hurts as if you have just lifted something heavy, but you have not, then this might spell a problem with the kidneys. Other red flags include pain during urination, strange coloring of the urine, blood in the urine and so on. Keep in mind that these symptoms may be seen in other diseases as well, which is why you need to consult a specialist or, better yet, have a specialist consult you.

Kidneys are no laughing matter, since they are the gateways through which toxins are eliminated from your system. If the kidneys fail, then you have only a short amount of time to live or, the alternative, you need to spend some time every day, hooked to a machine which literally changes the blood in your system, because your kidneys are no longer up for the task.

Another problem that might occur in the kidneys, which can also cause blood to leak into the urine, are kidney stones. These are bad and mild. They are mild in the sense that this condition is not severe, it will not major damage to your system, but they are bad in the sense that they can cause some serious pain, especially if they are not small, and most of all when they are eliminated. Think about a grain of pepper going through your urinary tract. It is small, indeed, but compared to the narrowness of the canal it will put up one heck of a fight.
