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)

What is the difference between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure?
The difference between acute renal (kidney) failure and chronic kidney failure, is that acute is a sudden onset. Something like a medical condition, trama, or surgery can cause the failure within days or even hrs. Chrinic kidney failure is slow damage to the kidney over a few years, resulting in the kidneys not being able to filter blood properly.
What is the malfunction of the kidney called?
The malfunction of the kidney is commonly referred to as kidney failure or renal failure. This condition occurs when the kidneys are unable to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood effectively. It can be classified into acute kidney failure, which occurs suddenly, and chronic kidney disease, which develops gradually over time. Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, and changes in urine output.

anemia. The kidneys are responsible for producing erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production. If kidney disease causes shrinking of the kidney, red blood cell production is reduced
What is the use of the acute nephritis?

Complications of nephritic syndrome?
* Acute kidney failure * Chronic kidney failure * End-stage kidney disease * High blood pressure * Congestive heart failure * Pulmonary edema * Chronic glomerulonephritis * Nephrotic syndrome
Incubation period for acute renal failure?
The incubation period for acute renal failure is not applicable as it is not an infectious disease. Acute renal failure is usually diagnosed based on the sudden onset of symptoms, such as decreased urine output or swelling in the body. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect you have symptoms of acute renal failure.
What are the symptoms of renal artery stenosis?
Acute onset of renal vein thrombosis at any age causes pain in the lower back and side, fever, bloody urine, decreased urine output, and sometimes kidney failure
Is kidney failure and kidney insufficiency mean the same thing?
Kidney failure is an acute stage, and can often be a secondary complication to another condition or situation, such as from a reaction to medication or from dehydration. Chronic kidney disease is a chronic illness. Acute kidney failure has a good chance of being 100% reversible if caught early. Chronic kidney disease is manageable with dialysis, but is not reversible.
What is the disease that encompasses a group of symptoms referred to as the protein-losing kidney?
acute glomerulonephritis.

The symptoms that I am familiar with for kidney failure are associated with urinary tract infections, blood in your urine, pain in your lower back where your kidneys are located and fever and nausea.
