10 Renal Failure Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Swelling
People who develop renal failure often experience swelling. It occurs mostly in the hands, feet, and face. The kidneys typically remove extra fluid from the body. When the kidneys aren’t working, fluid accumulates, which can lead to visible signs of water retention.
Patients might assume that they’re having an allergic reaction if the face becomes swollen and puffy. However, if other possible renal failure symptoms are present, see a doctor to confirm the cause of the swelling.
