You Can Lose Up to 90% of Kidney Function Before Symptoms Appear
One of the most dangerous things about kidney disease is how silent it can be.
Many people do not experience noticeable symptoms until kidney function has dropped dramatically. By the time fatigue, swelling, or nausea appear, the kidneys may already be severely damaged.
This is why routine blood tests that measure creatinine levels and estimated kidney filtration rate (eGFR) are so important.
Early detection can slow or even prevent progression of kidney disease.
