Early diagnosis of kidney disease is important. Know the signs:
• Increased or decreased urination.
• Blood in urine.
• Flank pain (i.e., pain that radiates from the side to the lower back).
• Puffiness or swelling of the extremities (legs, feet, arms, hands) or face.
• Excessively itchy skin.
• Unexplained fatigue.
• Shortness of breath.
• Unexplained feelings of being cold.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Difficulty concentrating.
• Unexplained weight loss.
• Decreased appetite.
