Kidney Failure Sign #6: Sleep Disruption
Besides disrupting your normal bathroom routine, kidney failure can also lead to sleep disturbances. Increased urine production goes on during both day and night. While this may not bother too much during the day, it interferes with your sleep when you have to wake up several times to visit the bathroom.
Reduced urination can also disrupt sleep. This happens because, although the kidneys produce little amounts of urine, buildup of fluid can increase internal pressure causing you to experience an urge to urinate. However, when you go to the bathroom, only a few drops of urine come out. When this happens several times during the night, it disrupts your sleep and stops you from getting restful sleep.
