The answer might surprise you.
In its early stages, chronic kidney disease (CKD) often has no noticeable symptoms, which is why routine screenings and regular checkups are so important, especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.
As kidney function declines, you may begin to notice:
• Swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands
• Fatigue or low energy
• Changes in urination
• Difficulty concentrating
• High blood pressure that's hard to control
The good news? Early detection can help slow the progression of kidney disease and protect your long-term health.
If you're at risk or have concerns about your kidney health, don't wait for symptoms to appear. Schedule an appointment with our nephrology team and take the first step toward protecting your kidneys.
