KIDNEY FAILURE?!
Question:
KIDNEY FAILURE?
My cousin's doctors claim he ahs kidney failure and must go on dialasis. He is 40 and a hemophiliac. He has to get regular check-ups and this was discovered at a check-up. however, he claims he feels fine, as if nothing at all is wrong with him and doesn't understand why they say his kidneys are failing. He didn't even feel funny going into the doctors. he says everything works fine, feels fine. What are the symptoms if any????
Answers:
Kidney failure ranges from mild to severe. Mild or moderate kidney failure may show few symptoms in spite of increased urea in the blood. Initially, symptoms may develop slowly. This is particularly true in the case of chronic kidney failure. In most cases, only when kidney diseases has progressed significantly that the symptoms of kidney failure begin to manifest.
If kidney failure is mild or moderate, symptoms may include frequent urination during the night and high blood pressure. In more severe cases, kidney failure symptoms may include anemia, hypertension, headaches, bone and joint problems, lower back pain, foamy or bloody urine, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

Even though your cousin may not have many of the symptoms of severe kidney failure, he should follow his doctor's advice. Early detection and treatment are key to minimizing the effects of chronic kidney failure.
