Chronic Kidney Disease Often Develops Without Pain
Unlike kidney stones, chronic kidney disease (CKD) usually doesn’t cause pain in its early stages. In fact, nearly 90% of people with early CKD don’t know they have it. The kidneys can gradually lose function without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred.
Early warning signs may include:
- Swollen feet or ankles
- Foamy urine
- Frequent nighttime urination
- Persistent fatigue
- High blood pressure
