The Overview of Kidney Disease

Many people are troubled by kidney disease.Now, let us have a look at it.

What are the symptoms of kidney disease?

Symptoms of acute renal failure may include:

· Little or no urine when you urinate.
· Swelling, especially in your legs and feet.
· Not feeling like eating.
· Nausea and vomiting.
· Feeling confused, anxious and restless, or sleepy.
· Pain in the back just below the rib cage. This is called flank pain.

Some people may not have any symptoms. And for people who are already quite ill, the problem that's causing the kidney failure may be causing other symptoms.
How is acute renal failure diagnosed?

Acute renal failure is most often diagnosed during a hospital stay for another cause. If you are already in the hospital, tests done for other problems may find your kidney failure.


If you're not in the hospital but have symptoms of kidney failure, your doctor will ask about your symptoms, what medicines you take, and what tests you have had. Your symptoms can help point to the cause of your kidney problem.
