What are the symptoms of chronic kidney failure?

Patient's question:

My mom is 63 years old this year. She has had a very serious kidney disease for more than a year. Recently, I noticed that her kidney function has shown some signs of improvement, and I suspect she may have chronic kidney failure. Could you tell me what are the symptoms of chronic kidney failure?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the description, the patient has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. In chronic kidney disease, the patient's renal function will continue to improve until they reach the stage of uremia. In the early stage of chronic kidney disease, the patient may have no obvious symptoms or only exhibit non-specific symptoms such as lower back pain and fatigue. After the stage of renal failure, the patient may again experience symptoms such as increased urine output, edema, pulmonary edema, anemia, dizziness, headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath, skin itching, nausea, and vomiting.
