Hello Doctor,
I have symptoms of kidney disease, such as fatigue, swelling, changes in urination patterns, or difficulty concentrating. Could these be signs of a more serious condition?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Yes, certainly. The symptoms you're describing—fatigue, swelling, changes in urination, and difficulty concentrating—can be indicative of uraemic syndrome, which occurs when the kidneys are not effectively filtering waste products from the blood.
2. This can lead to a build-up of toxins, causing these symptoms. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider as soon as possible.
3. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a nephrologist for a proper diagnosis and to discuss potential treatments.
4. In the meantime, staying hydrated and managing your diet can help support kidney function, but medical intervention is essential for proper care.
Thanks
