Hello,
Many times people may not experience any symptoms until their kidney disease is well advanced. Early signs that the kidneys may be diseased include blood or protein in the urine or elevated blood pressure readings. If you want to know how to overcome kidney disease

Answer 3

You won't know unless a doctor diagnosis it.
If your having bleeding, foul smelling urine, burning, get to the doctor - she/he will do the proper diagnosing as these also are indicative of other urinary problems. Until you can get to the Doctor, drink plenty of water and especially
CRANBERRY JUICE. If this is too acidic for you I think they sell cranberry tablets/capsules over the counter.

Answer 4

Don't obsess over having kidney disease. Go to your doctor and have a urine test. I think they look for excessive amounts of protein in the urine to establish whether or not someone has kidney disease, then they go from there.

The 5 Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

There are five stages of CKD. Each stage is defined by changes in kidney function. A drop in GFR (glomerular filtration rate) means that CKD is progressing or getting worse. As GFR gets lower, your CKD stage gets higher. Stage 5 CKD (also known as ESRD-end stage renal disease) means kidney failure and the need for dialysis or a transplant to live.

Thru urinalysis(a kind of lab test), your creatinine and BUN levels are elevated. Normal creatinine level is 0.5-1.0 mg/dL, and normal BUN level is 10-20 mg/dL. Elevated creatinine level (>5.0 mg/dL) is usally indicative of renal failure which may be caused by certain diseases.
Symptoms may vary as to what kind of disease you have.
