What are some lingering questions you have about CKD?

What does it feel like does it make you feel very sick does it make you feel dizzy weak

Hello , Those are excellent questions. Most people don't have any symptoms. They usually find out by just going to the doctor for a routine check-up or by accident. I know for me, it was during a yearly checkup. We are all different of course, and some people might have symptoms. I know with my son he was having a lot of swelling, but no other symptoms. My father is stage 4 and feels great, but again, we are all different.


It's best to see a doctor to see what is going on. How are you doing? We would like to hear from you. Diane (Team Member)
