Question

Lately, I’ve been feeling lackluster and my lower back and legs are always swollen. I suspect I might have kidney disease, so I want to ask what are the main symptoms of kidney syndrome?

Answer

If you’re experiencing swelling in your lower back and limbs, it indicates some issues with kidney function, possibly due to nephritis. It’s advisable to go to the hospital for a comprehensive and detailed examination, as early detection and treatment are the best course of action. If not treated actively and promptly, the condition can become more severe. Some kidney diseases are irreversible and can progress further. Kidney syndrome is relatively common among kidney diseases, with clinical manifestations of ’three highs’ and rapid progression: high blood lipids, severe edema, high urine protein, and low proteinemia. The main symptoms include severe swelling in the face and legs, general weakness, and a decrease in urine output. If these symptoms reappear, they can be confirmed through tests such as urine routine, kidney function, hemorheology, and renal biopsy.
