How Your Kidneys Work If the kidneys' ability to filter the blood is seriously damaged by disease, wastes and excess fluid may build up in the body. Although many forms of kidney disease do not produce symptoms until late in the course of the disease, there are six warning signs of kidney disease: High blood pressure.

Overview 1 Kidney disease. 2  When you have kidney disease, extra fluid and sodium in your circulation may cause edema. 3  The edema associated with kidney disease usually occurs in your legs and around your eyes. 4  Kidney damage. 5  Damage to the tiny, filtering blood vessels in your kidneys can result in nephrotic syndrome.

- When healthy kidneys filter fluid, minerals and wastes from the blood, they usually do not allow large amounts of serum protein to escape into the urine. But when kidneys aren’t filtering properly, proteinuria can occur, meaning that an abnormal amount of protein is present in the urine.

Fluid retention is often just an annoyance, but it can point to serious illness Edema is sometimes caused by damage to or pressure within veins that causes them to leak fluid — blood plasma that is mostly water — into nearby tissue. (At other times, edema is caused by heart, kidney or liver disease that causes water to accumulate in the lungs, abdomen and elsewhere.) Fluid usually pools in the feet, ankles and legs, but it can also be more generalized throughout the body. Swelling can either disappear overnight or persist.

10 Signs You May Have Kidney Disease 1 You see blood in your urine. 2  Healthy kidneys typically keep the blood cells in the body when filtering wastes from the blood to create urine, but when the kidney's filters have been damaged, these blood cells can start to leak out into the urine. Swelling in the lower extremities can also be a sign of heart disease, liver disease and chronic leg vein problems. 2  You have a poor appetite. 3  This is a very general symptom, but a buildup of toxins resulting from reduced kidney function can be one of the causes.

Overview Acute kidney failure occurs when your kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from your blood. When your kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of wastes may accumulate, and your blood's chemical makeup may get out of balance. Acute kidney failure — also called acute renal failure or acute kidney injury — develops rapidly over a few hours or a few days. Acute kidney failure is most common in people who are already hospitalized, particularly in critically ill people who need intensive care.

What Happens When Kidneys Shut Down What happens when kidneys shut down? Experts of our center point out that kidneys can not only help discharge metabolic wastes, excess fluid, etc but also maitain useful substances. Besides, they are responsible for the adjustment of blood pressure, production of EPO and so on. When kidneys shut down, their normal operation will be influenced. As a consequence, various symptoms like high blood pressure, edema, pain, anemia, protein in urine and so on will come into being. In advanced stage, it will develop into kidney failure.

Sodium and Chronic Kidney Disease As sodium and fluid build up in your tissues and bloodstream, your blood pressure increases and you feel uncomfortable. High blood pressure can cause more damage to unhealthy kidneys. This damage further reduces kidney function, resulting in even more fluid and waste build up in the body.

Overview 1 Kidney damage. Damage to the tiny, filtering blood vessels in your kidneys can result in nephrotic syndrome. In nephrotic syndrome, declining levels of protein (albumin) in your blood can lead to fluid accumulation and edema.  Weakness or damage to veins in your legs.

Heart failure - fluids and diuretics When you have heart failure, your heart does not pump out enough blood. This causes fluids to build up in your body. If you drink too many fluids, you may get symptoms such as swelling, weight gain, and shortness of breath.

Kidney Failure They filter your blood and remove toxins from your body. Your kidneys send toxins to your bladder. Your body later removes toxins during urination. Kidney failure occurs when your kidneys lose the ability to filter waste from your blood sufficiently.

What Happens if my Kidneys Fail Completely? Points to Remember. 1  Your kidneys are vital organs that keep your blood clean and chemically balanced. 2  The progression of kidney disease can be slowed, but it cannot always be reversed. 3  End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the total loss of kidney function.

Acute Kidney Injury If you have AKI your kidneys suddenly stop working as well as they should. This means the fluid, salts and chemicals in your body can rise or fall to abnormal levels and make you very ill. If there is too much acid, or there are too many salts, in your body your other organs can be affected.

- In kidney failure, there may be problems with increased fluid in the body (leading to swelling), increased acid levels, raised levels of potassium, decreased levels of calcium, increased levels of phosphate, and in later stages anemia.

What Is Kidney Disease? You’re born with two kidneys. They’re on either side of your spine, just above your waist. When your kidneys are damaged, waste products and fluid can build up in your body. That can cause swelling in your ankles, vomiting, weakness, poor sleep, and shortness of breath.

Most Common Questions Kidney Patients Ask Doctors Not necessarily. When the kidneys make urine, the urine flows down a tube called the ureter and empties into the bladder. When the bladder becomes full, you feel the urge to pass urine. Some people with severe kidney disease make urine that has a lot of water, but almost no waste products in it.

What Does Your Pee Mean? The sign: Foamy or bubbly urine. What it means: You could have kidney disease. When your kidney’s filtering units aren’t working properly, that can lead to a build-up of protein in your urine. The protein then creates a foamy appearance when it hits the water in the toilet.

Kidney Failure What Is It? In kidney failure, the kidneys lose their ability to filter enough waste products from the blood and to regulate the body's balance of salt and water. Eventually, the kidneys slow their production of urine, or stop producing it completely. Waste products and water accumulate in the body.
