Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. I was wondering if patients with kidney atrophy might experience lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to serve you. According to the problem you provided, kidney swelling can lead to recurring symptoms such as lower back pain, waist fullness, discomfort, fatigue, loss of appetite, and decreased blood pressure. The main reason is that after kidney swelling, it can cause kidney dysfunction, where the decomposition of metabolic products cannot be promptly excreted, leading to conditions like azotemia. It is recommended to promptly investigate the cause, stabilize kidney function, and avoid exposure to cold, fatigue, and colds.
