There are many signs of kidney failure. Blood in the urine, cloudy or smelly urine, chronic pain. See your GP if you are concerned.

They can be very subtle. My symptoms were incredible fatigue, and that's about it. I also has excessive itching, and some memory loss, which I attributed to stress and fatigue, but it was permanent. It may include swollen ankles, excessive itching, fatigue, changes in urination. It can be related to heart disease and/or diabetes, or a family history of kidney disease.
Mine was caused by an allergy to ibuprofen, and I nearly died, but they fixed me up and I never even had to do dialysis. My message: if you're concerned, get a blood test right away and find out!

Arggg,

I have read that sometimes there are no signs at all. People are not even aware of being in kidney failure.
When you mention itching, what type of itching? All over your body or in specific areas only? I have started having a burning feeling in my lower back so of course said to myself it's only a strained muscle. It it keeps coming back and sometimes other muscles feel as if they are on fire.
