Symptoms
Many people who develop
chronic kidney disease don't have symptoms at first.
This is known as the "silent" phase of the disease.
As your kidney
function gets worse, you may:
- Urinate less than normal.
- Have
swelling from fluid buildup in your tissues (edema).
- Feel very
tired.
- Lose your appetite or have an unexpected weight loss.
- Feel nauseated or vomit.
- Be either very sleepy or unable to sleep.
- Have
headaches or trouble thinking straight.
