The gradual loss of kidney
function is referred to as chronic kidney disease or chronic kidney failure. If
a person has chronic kidney disease, and when it reaches in an advanced stage,
dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can build up in the body.
And thus progressing to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal without
dialysis or a kidney transplant under the supervision of best urology doctors available. Treatment methods for this mainly focus on
slowing down the progression of kidney damage by controlling the underlying
causes. In the early stages
of chronic kidney disease, you may have the following signs or symptoms.

Muscle twitches and
cramps

Also note that the
signs and symptoms of kidney disease are often non specific. This means that
they can also be caused by other illnesses. If any one among these symptom occurs, you need not consult a urologist always. But in some cases, the signs and

function.

condition that increases the risk of your kidney disease, your doctor is likely
to monitor your blood pressure and kidney function with urine and blood tests
during regular office visits.
