π£ Chronic kidney disease
β Chronic kidney disease, or CKD, means the kidneys are slowly losing their ability to filter waste and extra fluid from the blood.
β Early CKD may cause no clear symptoms.
β Symptoms often appear when kidney function becomes more reduced.
π£ Common signs and symptoms
β Fatigue and weakness
β Reduced kidney function can cause anemia and waste buildup, leading to tiredness.
β Swollen feet, ankles, or legs
β Fluid and salt retention can cause swelling, especially in the lower legs.
β Puffiness around the eyes
β Protein loss in urine and fluid imbalance may cause swelling around the eyes.
β Foamy or frothy urine
β Foamy urine may be a sign of protein leaking into the urine.
β Frequent urination at night
β Kidney damage can change how often you urinate, especially overnight.
β Blood in urine
β Damaged kidneys or urinary tract problems may allow blood to appear in urine.
β Nausea, poor appetite, or vomiting
β Waste buildup in the blood can cause nausea, appetite loss, or vomiting.
β Itchy dry skin
β Waste and mineral imbalance can cause dry, itchy skin.
β Shortness of breath
β Fluid overload or anemia from CKD can make breathing more difficult.
π£ Common risk factors
β Diabetes and high blood pressure are the most common causes of chronic kidney disease.
β Other risks include family history of kidney disease, repeated kidney infections, long-term painkiller misuse, obesity, smoking, and older age.
π£ Management
β Get kidney tests.
β Blood creatinine, eGFR, urine protein, urine routine test, and blood pressure checks help assess kidney health.
β Control diabetes and blood pressure.
β Good sugar and BP control can slow kidney damage.
β Review medicines.
β Avoid unsafe painkillers, herbal products, or supplements unless approved by a doctor.
β Follow diet and fluid advice.
β Salt, protein, potassium, phosphorus, and fluid intake may need adjustment based on kidney stage.
β Monitor regularly.
β Regular follow-up helps track kidney function, anemia, minerals, and complications.
β Plan treatment early if advanced.
β Some people with advanced CKD may need dialysis, transplant planning, or specialist kidney care.
π£ When to seek urgent medical help
β Get urgent care for severe breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, seizures, very low urine, severe swelling, persistent vomiting, or very high blood pressure.
β These may suggest serious fluid buildup, toxin buildup, or dangerous electrolyte imbalance.
