10 Acute Renal Failure Symptoms
Symptom #2: Itching
An itch can be very irritating, but then it is supposed to be. Quite often, an itch is intended to bring your attention to something that is wrong, such as a potentially harmful irritant on the skin. At other times, it is a reaction to something such as inflammation or other similar problems.
With the kidneys failing, more toxins will be flowing through the blood because they are not being filtered out.
