Most people who have kidney disease do not experience any symptoms until the condition has become severe. However, by then, the damage is often serious and irreversible. This is why regular screening for CKD is so important.
The symptoms of advanced chronic kidney disease include:
- tiredness
- swollen ankles, feet or hands (due to water retention)
- shortness of breath
- blood and/or protein in your urine (protein in your urine is not something that you will notice as it can only be detected during a urine test)
- an increased need to urinate, particularly at night
- itchy skin
- nausea
- erectile dysfunction (an inability to get or maintain an erection)
