Kidney Failure Symptoms - #18687
A close relative of mine has recently been diagnosed with kidney disease, and I’ve been trying to educate myself about the symptoms and warning signs of kidney failure. I know that kidney disease can progress slowly over time, and in many cases, symptoms don’t appear until significant damage has already occurred. What are the earliest signs that someone might be experiencing kidney failure, and how can these symptoms be distinguished from other common health issues? I’ve read that things like swelling in the legs, fatigue, and changes in urination can indicate kidney problems, but how severe do these symptoms need to be before they signal something serious? Additionally, I’ve heard that high blood pressure and diabetes are two major risk factors for kidney failure. If someone has these conditions, what proactive steps can they take to prevent further kidney damage? Another thing I’m curious about is the role of diet in managing kidney health. Are there specific foods that should be avoided to reduce strain on the kidneys, and are there any dietary changes that can help slow the progression of kidney disease? Lastly, if kidney failure reaches an advanced stage, what treatment options are available? I understand that dialysis and kidney transplants are common for end-stage kidney disease, but what are the differences between the two, and how does a patient decide which option is best? I would appreciate any insights from people who have experience with kidney disease, whether as a patient, caregiver, or medical professional.
