The Early Stage of Renal Failure Symptoms

Renal failure is a medical condition where the kidneys stop functioning. Renal failure could be acute or chronic. Here we discuss the important early stage symptoms of renal failure.

As we know, kidney disease is a kind of disease with chronic process. And if it is not treated by effective therapy timely, it is easy to process into Renal Failure. At that time, patients will present various manifestations and suffer lots of discomforts. Then what are the main symptoms when kidney disease develops into Renal Failure and what caused these symptoms?

1 Fatigue
This symptom can be presented early, but it is easy to be ignored, because many factors can cause tiredness, especially for people who work quite hard. So pressure from work may contribute to the occurrence of tiredness.

2 The change of urine volume
Because of the decline of renal function, some patient may urinate less with the aggravation of disease. And the normal urine volume can not suggest your renal function is not affected, because at this time the quality of urine is bad, due to the accumulation of toxins in our body, like high serum creatinine.

3 Swelling
This manifestation can be found easily. Due to the damage, kidney can not discharge the waste water in our body. In the early stage, edema will be presented in ankle and eyelid. And after some time’s rest, edema will disappear without any treatment. But if the swelling spread all over our body that may indicate our disease is serious.

4 Face appears yellow.
This may be caused by anemia. Due to the slow development, patients will not notice it at once.

5. High serum creatinine
This is the earliest symptom. Accumulated toxins can stimulate our gastrointestinal tract and affect our appetite. With the further worsening, vomit and nausea will occur.

6 .Hypertension
When our kidney is damaged, the filtration function of kidney will also decline. This will lead to retention of sodium and water in our body. In addition, during this stage, kidney will also secret some materials which can rise our blood pressure. So, in the early stage of Renal Failure, patient may suffer from hypertension with different degree.

This was a brief overview on symptoms in the early stage of Renal Failure. Chronic renal failure cannot be cured completely which is why it becomes extremely essential to treat any underlying medical condition that may lead to renal failure so as to prevent it from progressing to chronic renal failure. One must therefore consult a doctor on experiencing any of the aforementioned renal failure symptoms.Wish you a good health!
