Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of kidney insufficiency and how can they be identified?Doctor's answer:
Renal insufficiency, clinically diagnosed as the scope of uremia, is mainly caused by the weakening of kidney function. Clinically, it is generally divided into three stages. In the early stages, symptoms such as nausea or urination may occur. By the middle stage, clinical diagnosis often reveals electrolyte imbalances, hypertension, and edema, in addition to systemic swelling. In the late stages, severe cases may develop numerous cardiovascular complications, such as respiratory failure. If these conditions occur, treatment through kidney transplantation or dialysis is required.
