In the early stages, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) may show no noticeable symptoms, making it difficult to detect. As the disease progresses, symptoms gradually become more apparent. Fatigue and feeling unusually tired or weak are common. Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet occurs due to fluid retention, while shortness of breath may result from fluid build-up in the lungs.

Changes in urination patterns such as urinating more or less frequently, or having foamy or bloody urine, can signal kidney issues. Individuals with CKD often experience high blood pressure and may notice a decrease in appetite, leading to unintended weight loss.

As the disease worsens, nausea, vomiting, and confusion may occur due to the buildup of waste products in the body. Back pain or pain in the kidneys area is also common. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent further kidney damage and complications.
