What are the symptoms of end-stage renal disease?

Early kidney disease often has no symptoms. Some people may not even know they have kidney disease until their kidneys fail.

If your kidneys begin to fail, you may experience:

• Confusion.
• Itchiness all over.
• Lack of appetite.
• Metallic taste in your mouth.
• Muscle cramps or muscle jerking.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Shortness of breath.
• Swelling in your feet or ankles.
• Too much or too little urine production.
• Trouble sleeping, or sleeping too much.

If you develop any of these symptoms, you should contact a healthcare provider immediately.
