What Is Kidney Failure?
4. Symptoms
Symptoms often don’t appear in the early stages because the kidneys have time to adapt. When symptoms do start showing, however, they can include a loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. The patient may also feel weak and fatigued, have difficulty thinking clearly, and they can also have problems sleeping. A build-up of fluids in the blood can also cause their patient’s skin to become itchy.
A high blood pressure is another potential symptom, and muscle cramps and twitches can also be symptoms. A metallic taste in the mouth is another fairly common symptom, as is difficulty sleeping, and swelling in your feet and ankles.
