CKD Signs and Symptoms
Signals of Kidney Stress
This video delves into the critical signs and symptoms associated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a condition that often progresses silently with minimal symptoms until significant kidney damage occurs.
It outlines how, as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases, symptoms remain elusive, making early detection challenging. The video methodically explains the gradual onset of symptoms over years, including general non-specific signs like fatigue, headaches, loss of appetite, and more specific indications such as changes in urine output, blood in the urine, and foamy urine.
These initial signs are crucial for recognizing the need for early screening and intervention to prevent further kidney damage.
