Signs of CKD
Chronic kidney disease can be silent and painless. There are usually no symptoms until 80% of kidney function is gone.
La maladie rénale peut passer inaperçue, surtout aux tout premiers stades de la maladie, tout simplement parce qu’elle ne produit aucun symptôme visible (asymptomatique). La meilleure façon de vérifier l’état de vos reins est de demander à votre fournisseur de soins de santé de vous prescrire les analyses de routine de la fonction rénale.
At this point symptoms may start to show and can include:
