Talk to Your Doctor About Symptoms
Even if a doctor has told you that chronic kidney disease is harming your kidneys, you may not feel the effects. Many people don’t notice any symptoms until their kidneys hardly work at all. Or, you may have symptoms and wonder if they might be caused by a kidney problem. The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor. Symptoms can be a clue, but the same symptoms can have many causes. Only a doctor can diagnose kidney disease, and this is done with blood and urine tests.
