Symptoms of kidney disease
You should be aware that the warning signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease are often ambiguous. Many patients have chronic kidney disease without knowing it. In general: Only a physician can make a clear diagnosis! Don’t diagnose yourself.
Trust your physician and consult her or him if you are not feeling well. The sooner you speak to your physician and the more open you are about your symptoms, the better your physician can react and find a suitable treatment for you.
