What is Chronic Kidney Disease?
The build-up of toxins in the blood that is caused by decreased kidney function. Causes include repeated damage from infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, and autoimmunity (the body's immune system attacking itself). It usually occurs with chronic and end-stage renal disease but may occur in acute kidney injury as well. When toxins that are usually filtered out by the kidneys, stay in the blood, symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive issues, shortness of breath, muscle cramping, nausea and vomiting can occur.
Typical Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease
- Having difficulty urinating or producing less urine
- Headache
- History of kidney failure
- History of connective tissue, autoimmune or rheumatic disease
- Swelling leaves a dent when pressed for at least 15 seconds
- Swollen eyelids
- Decreased motivation
- Whole body pain
Diagnostic Questions for Chronic Kidney Disease
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you been experiencing difficulty urinating or producing less urine?
- Do you have a headache?
- Have you been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with a connective tissue, autoimmune, or rheumatic disease?
- Does the swelling leave a dent when pressed for at least 15 seconds?
Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease
Main treatment involves replacing the kidney's "filtering" function, either artificially through dialysis or with a kidney transplant. Meanwhile, specialists may prescribe medications to control symptoms like itching and water retention.
