Your kidneys remove waste products from your body. They also help maintain the right balance of salt and fluids in your body. Do you have chronic kidney disease? Then your kidneys will gradually become less effective. This can lead to various complaints or discomforts. For example, you may feel tired or nauseous.
How does kidney disease develop?
Kidney disease can be caused by several factors. For example:
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Certain medications
- Eating too much salt
What are the symptoms of kidney disease?
At first, you may not notice any symptoms of kidney disease. But as the disease progresses, symptoms may start to appear. For example:-
- Feeling tired more quickly
- Muscle cramps

If kidney disease is not treated properly, the symptoms can worsen significantly. Some people even need to go to the hospital several times a week to have waste filtered from their blood. This treatment is called dialysis.
