One of the differences between kidney failure and other diseases is that renal failure does not point to the site of the problem. In fact, very few people complain of kidney pain.
And although some persons with early renal problems get up to urinate during the night more frequently, there are many other causes that relate to this symptom. So, how can you tell if you have kidneys disease?

Add your commentBad thigh cramps, jaw hurting extreme neck pain are a few to add to
the condition.
I knew that there could be serious problems with the condition but it brings on more serious issues.
I have had renal failure 4 times do to dehydration, I was hospitalized each time and put on IV drips. Each stay was about one week in duration. I never knew that muscle cramps and fatigue could also cause renal failure. I will be on the lookout for more symptoms if this should happen in the future.
Thank you, it was a great article.
Thanks Emilia! I hope more of our members will see this!
Hello dietcherry,
Unfortunatley, kidney failure can be a very deceiving disease and if we are not on the alert, it can be a source of unpleasant surprises later on in life.
very interesting
