Chronic Kidney Diseases
Chronic kidney diseases generally involve the gradual function loss of these bean-shaped organs. The kidneys are responsible for filtering excess fluids and waste from the blood and removing them through the urine. If they aren’t functioning correctly, it can lead to a dangerous build-up of waste, electrolytes, and fluid levels in the body. In the early stages of these conditions, a few symptoms may present themselves. But more often than not, not many realize that their kidneys are compromised until the disease has advanced.
Symptoms and signs of chronic kidney conditions may develop if they’re not treated. Depending on the severity, people may experience nausea and vomiting, appetite loss, weakness and fatigue, insomnia, infrequent urination, reduced mental sharpness, muscle cramps, itchy and dry skin, hypertension, and breath shortness if the fluid fills up the lungs. Moreover, these indicators are typically non-specific. This means that other illnesses brought about by the condition may also cause them.
In case of signs of disease, setting an appointment with a doctor as early as possible is recommended. The early diagnosis of these diseases may prevent the further deterioration of the organ that could progress to eventual failure.
