Symptoms for Renal Failure

Kidney is as important as the garbage disposal to a city which is actually responsible for purifying blood and filtrating metabolic wastes. The city will be disorder and ruined if the garbage disposal has been destroyed. Therefore, life would fail if kidneys fail. To some degree, prevention is better than cure, so it is necessary for people to know more about Renal Failure. Various common symptoms of Renal Failure will be introduced in this article.

3. Anemia
Healthy kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin which stimulates the bone marrow to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they produce less erythropoietin, resulting in decreased production of red blood cells to replace the natural breakdown of old red blood cells. As a result, the blood carries less hemoglobin, a condition known as anemia. This can result in feeling tired or weak, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, dizziness and low blood pressure.
