Kidneys are important for the proper functioning of the body. The effects of kidney failure can affect your body in many ways.

A gradual development:
Your kidneys possess a natural ability to tolerate problems when they gradually lose their function. It is for this reason that chronic kidney disease has a habit of developing without the patient realizing or feeling any symptoms. It is quite common for the patient to go on living without noticing that he or she has very minimal kidney function remaining. For this reason, it is important to catch early signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease and do your regular medical checkup.

Hard to detect symptoms:
A majority of the signs of kidney failure are not kidney disease specific and can also be seen in many other common conditions. Detecting kidney disease at an early stage is often quite difficult.
