What are some symptoms of kidney disease?

by Symptom Advice on December 5, 2010

When should you decide to call a doctor?

Changes in Urination
Swelling in legs, ankles, feet, face, and/or hands.
Fatigue
Skin Rash/Itching
Metallic Taste in Mouth/Ammonia Breath
Nausea and Vomiting
Shortness of Breath
Feeling Cold
Dizziness and trouble Concentrating
Leg/Flank Pain

If you have 3 or more symptoms, that's when you should call a doctor.

Lollipop does have the correct symptoms; I wanted to add that symptoms often don't appear til late in the disease.

Anyone who's diabetic or has high blood pressure should be monitored for kidney function; these are the top two causes of kidney failure. one very early sign that can only be detected by a lab is protein in the urine.
