10 Symptoms of Kidney Problems
7. Fatigue
Fatigue can be described as a general feeling of exhaustion. Usually, this symptom improves with adequate rest, but depending on the source of the problem, it may not improve at all. It can be triggered by exercise, stress, and work-related activities. It is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with many conditions like anemia and anxiety, to name a few.
Another key function of the kidneys is the production of erythropoietin which is crucial for the making of red blood cells. Patients with late-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) may suffer from anemia as the production of red blood cells is compromised. One of the most common symptoms associated with CKD-related anemia is fatigue.
