That said, stage 4 kidney disease (eGFR of 15–29) can cause a range of symptoms due to severely reduced kidney function. Here's what's commonly associated with stage 4:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Reduced appetite
- Fatigue and weakness
- Muscle cramps
- Swelling in hands and feet
- Itchy skin
- Trouble sleeping
- High blood pressure
- Anemia (low red blood cell levels)
- High phosphorus levels, which can affect bone and organ health
Stage 4 is a critical point where working closely with a nephrologist becomes especially important to slow progression and prepare for potential next steps.
