What are the symptoms of kidney disease? Approach 1




>> A doctor speaks with a patient in his office.
>> What are the symptoms of kidney disease?
>> Chronic kidney disease is what we
sometimes call the silent disease.
>> Uhmm-hmm.
>> And what that means is, is
that most people have no symptoms.
They don't feel any way until
the disease is pretty advanced.
For that reason, we need to do routine
testing in people at risk to identify patients
with kidney disease because that
allows us to identify the patients
and to begin treating early
in the course of disease.

What is Chronic Kidney Disease: Approach 2




>> A doctor speaks with a patient in her office.
>> What is chronic kidney disease?
>> Well, in chronic kidney disease the
kidneys are damaged for various reasons.
And when the kidneys are damaged,
they eventually lose their ability
to remove the excess waste
and water from the body.
And we see this in conditions like
high blood pressure and diabetes.
And although this is a slow process, the
kidneys ultimately lose their ability
to remove enough waste to keep the body healthy.
