5 warning signs that show up on the body months before the onset

People with kidney disease often find themselves unusually tired and weak, a complaint that tends to intensify as the illness progresses. This occurs because when the kidneys falter, they can’t clear waste and toxins effectively, so these substances accumulate in the bloodstream creating a condition known as uremia, that saps energy, and leaves the body feeling feeble. Moreover, kidneys release erythropoietin-a hormone that spurs red‑blood‑cell production, but damaged kidneys secrete less of it, precipitating anemia and further amplifying the sense of exhaustion.

Fatigue tied to kidney disease can sap activities, and erode quality of life. Research points out that these vague, non-specific symptoms typically surface in the advanced stages of CKD, and when they linger without a cause they warrant a reassessment of kidney function.
