How to know if kidney is failing?

For my father, when his kidneys started failing, he became extremely tired all the time, had severe swelling in his legs, and his appetite completely disappeared. He also started peeing much less. These are very serious symptoms and require immediate medical attention. Don't wait for things to get worse; see a nephrologist right away.

This question makes me anxious just thinking about it! Are the symptoms sudden or gradual? I heard about extreme tiredness and swelling. Has anyone here experienced these or other specific signs that made them realize something was really wrong? I get mild fatigue sometimes and it makes me worry.

Look, if you're concerned about kidney failure, it's a serious matter and you need to consult a doctor immediately. Key signs often include persistent fatigue, significant swelling (especially in your feet and ankles), nausea, loss of appetite, changes in urination, and trouble sleeping. Don't try to self-diagnose; get proper medical tests done. It's important to take care of yourself.

Hey! Don't stress too much, but you should definitely get this checked out. If you're feeling super fatigued all the time, have swelling in your hands/feet, are nauseous, or your pee habits have changed, these are big signs. Your doctor can do a simple blood test (creatinine) and urine test to check your kidney function. It's better to know and get treatment early!

Oh dear, that's a really important question! 😊 If you're feeling super tired, puffy in your legs or around your eyes, having trouble sleeping, or notice big changes in your pee, these could be signs. It's always best to get it checked by a doctor, they can do some simple tests to reassure you or help you early! Don't stress too much, but do take care! ❤️

I used to panic about every little ache! But kidney failure symptoms are usually quite noticeable. We're talking persistent severe fatigue, swelling in feet/ankles, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and significant changes in urination. If you have these combined symptoms, it's not normal. Go to a doctor immediately for proper diagnosis. Don't wait.
