Knowing the Signs of Kidney Failure can Save Your Life?

Kidney failure occurs for a number of reasons; an acute situation or a chronic illness can both cause kidney failure. When you are living with a chronic illness and the knowledge that kidney failure is a possibility, it is important that you understand the symptoms and know what signs to look for so that you can seek medical attention immediately. Kidney failure is not a minor medical condition; it is deadly and it can take a life very quickly. Knowing the symptoms can save your life. Unfortunately, when kidney failure begins it is often asymptomatic, which means that it does not produce any symptoms for you to look out for. As the ability to function decreases in the kidney, symptoms will begin to show; the symptoms are good because you know to seek medical assistance immediately, but the fact that you are having symptoms means your kidneys have crossed a point where failure is happening more quickly. You will notice that your body is unable to regulate water and electrolytes, which clear waste from the body. You will become lethargic, weak and short of breath. You may also begin noticing swelling on your body. In addition to these symptoms, other life threatening and unrecognizable symptoms may occur. Your body will begin to shut down due to the increased acidity from the lack of waste being removed from the body; your other organs will begin to fail. A loss of appetite will occur because of the increased waste in your body and fatigue will set in. This will affect your body until the point that a coma may set in and you will lose consciousness. Lastly, your body cannot handle the rising levels of acidity from the failure of your kidneys, which means your breathing will become rapid as your lungs attempt to remove acid from your body; your blood pressure will rise significantly and you run the risk of congestive heart failure. Unfortunately, kidney failure is not always associated with an existing condition, it can be caused from injury to the kidney in an accident of some sort, which means it is imperative you seek medical treatment if you notice these symptoms.

Can you die from a kidney hole?

I don't know exactly what you mean by a kidney "hole", but the closest thing to that which might occur naturally is a cyst, which is like a hole with a membrane filled with fluid. These are common and do not cause death or diease unless the kidney is full of them, such as in polycystic kidney disease. A hole in the kidney caused by a gunshot or stabbing could cause death from bleeding.
