High blood pressure, swelling or changes in your urine can be first warning signs. However, the disease can be detected early on with laboratory tests.

As you usually only notice this a little, or not at all, the damage can progress unnoticed until it is severe and irreversible.

Kidney disease can affect anyone. Kidney disease leads to a progressive or sudden loss of the kidney’s excretory and cleansing function.
