Common Symptoms Of Uremia

Concentration Problems

Concentration problems are also common with uremia and kidney failure. If individuals are at risk for kidney disease due to a family history of the condition, or if they have either diabetes or high blood pressure, or if they are older than sixty, it is best to get tested once a year for kidney disease. It is equally important to discuss with a doctor any new symptoms. Those with kidney failure have noticeably less energy, difficulty with concentration, and are more tired overall. When kidneys stop working, the blood gets filled with impurities, toxins, and other substances that slow them down. This results in feeling weak, tired, and unable to focus, which is doubly true thanks to the anemia kidney failure can cause as iron levels deplete. Over thirty million American adults unknowingly live with kidney disease, believing their symptoms to be the result of other conditions, delaying treatment until high levels of protein are already found in the urine.
