KIDNEY PROBLEM

Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, involves a gradual loss of kidney function. Your kidneys filter wastes and excess fluids from your blood, which are then removed in your urine. Advanced chronic kidney disease can cause dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes to build up in your body.

In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, you might have few signs or symptoms. You might not realize that you have kidney disease until the condition is advanced.

Treatment for chronic kidney disease focuses on slowing the progression of kidney damage, usually by controlling the cause. But, even controlling the cause might not keep kidney damage from progressing. Chronic kidney disease can progress to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal without artificial filtering (dialysis) or a kidney transplant.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease develop over time if kidney damage progresses slowly. Loss of kidney function can cause a buildup of fluid or body waste or electrolyte problems. Depending on how severe it is, loss of kidney function can cause:

Nausea

Vomiting

Loss of appetite

Fatigue and weakness

Sleep problems

Urinating more or less

Decreased mental sharpness

Muscle cramps

Swelling of feet and ankles

Dry, itchy skin

High blood pressure (hypertension) that’s difficult to control

Shortness of breath, if fluid builds up in the lungs

Chest pain, if fluid builds up around the lining of the heart

Risk factors

Factors that can increase your risk of chronic kidney disease include:

Diabetes

High blood pressure

Heart (cardiovascular) disease

Smoking

Obesity

Being Black, Native American or Asian American
