What Are the Symptoms of Kidney Failure, and How Can It Be Detected Early? - #14506
I have been experiencing frequent fatigue, swelling in my legs, and lower back pain, and I started wondering whether these could be early signs of kidney failure. I want to understand what symptoms indicate kidney problems, how it progresses, and whether early detection can prevent complications. Some people say that kidney disease shows no symptoms until it's advanced, but I am unsure whether routine tests can detect issues early. Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste from the blood, leading to toxins building up in the body. Common symptoms include fluid retention, shortness of breath, nausea, decreased urine output, and high blood pressure. Many doctors recommend regular blood tests (such as creatinine and GFR levels) and urine analysis to monitor kidney function. However, I want to know whether certain lifestyle changes or dietary modifications can slow kidney disease progression. For those who have managed kidney health, what signs appeared first, and what treatments helped in preventing further kidney damage? Would love insights into how to detect kidney failure early and whether natural remedies can support kidney function.
