10 Symptoms of Kidney Problems
9. Increased Urinary Frequency
An increase in the normal urinary frequency is known as pollakiuria. This is a non-specific symptom associated with many conditions. It can be a condition on its own, or it can be linked to another condition in the urinary system such as urinary tract infections (UTI), kidney stones, and issues with bladder emptying.
This is a common symptom associated with different types of kidney and non-kidney problems. Prostate problems may cause this symptom to appear due to prostatic enlargement causing urinary tract obstructions. As the urinary tract becomes obstructed, the urine has nowhere to go, so it may flow back into the ureters and the kidneys, causing further damage to the system.
