KIDNEY FAILURE?My cousin's doctors claim he ahs kidney failure and must go on dialasis. He is 40 and a hemophiliac. He has to get regular check-ups and this was discovered at a check-up. however, he claims he feels fine, as if nothing at all is wrong with him and doesn't understand why they say his kidneys are failing. He didn't even feel funny going into the doctors. he says everything works fine, feels fine. What are the symptoms if any????

Kidney failure comes on slowly from a build up of toxins in the blood. Symptoms of kidney failure are:
Metalic taste in the mouth, fatigue, feeling cold, high blood pressure, insomnia, itching/dryness of the skin, loss of appetite/nausea, poor concentration, poor sex drive, restless legs, shortness of breath, swelling of hands/feet/face, decreased urine output.
Symptoms appear slowly over a long period of time and are overlooked alot of times. Perhaps your cousin had some of the symptoms and the doctor checked into it. It might have shown up in routine blood work as well.

Kidney failure ranges from mild to severe. Mild or moderate kidney failure may show few symptoms in spite of increased urea in the blood. Initially, symptoms may develop slowly. This is particularly true in the case of chronic kidney failure. In most cases, only when kidney diseases has progressed significantly that the symptoms of kidney failure begin to manifest.
If kidney failure is mild or moderate, symptoms may include frequent urination during the night and high blood pressure. In more severe cases, kidney failure symptoms may include anemia, hypertension, headaches, bone and joint problems, lower back pain, foamy or bloody urine, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

Even though your cousin may not have many of the symptoms of severe kidney failure, he should follow his doctor's advice. Early detection and treatment are key to minimizing the effects of chronic kidney failure.
