It may be the earliest symptom of kidney disease, which is also the easiest one to be ignored. However, many things can cause to be sleepy and fatigue. Many people will consider work strain and fatigue as the cause. If we get more rest, the symptom will get improved, and that is why this symptom of kidney disease is so easy to be ignored.
● Yellowish Face
This symptom is caused by anemia, the onset and progression of which are slow, so it is difficult to find out the difference in a short time.
● Edema
It is relatively easy to find out this symptom. When damaged kidney can not eliminate excessive water, water retention causes this symptom. At the early stage of kidney disease, edema just appears in eyelids and ankle, which will disappear after having a rest.
● the Change of Urine Output
Sometimes, because of decreased renal filtration function, the urine output will reduce according to the development of kidney disease. Even if the urine output is normal, wastes and toxins which should be excreted by kidney will be less in the urine. However, urine output can not exactly indicate the damage of kidney.
● High Blood Pressure
