Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease refers to kidney damage that results in the decline of normal function. Your kidneys are responsible for filtering water and wastes out of the blood to make urine. When you have kidney disease, your kidneys do not filter blood the way they should. Diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure) are the two biggest risk factors for chronic kidney disease, accounting for Sixty-seven percent of cases.

Symptoms of kidney disease can include

● Nausea or vomiting
● Loss of appetite
● Fatigue or weakness
● Sleep problems
● Urinating more or less than normal
● Decreased mental sharpness
● Muscle cramps
● Swelling of feet or ankles
● Dry or itchy skin
