CKD can be diagnosed using blood and urine tests. These tests look for high levels of certain substances in your blood and urine that are signs your kidneys aren't working properly. The results of your blood and urine tests can be used to tell the stage of your kidney disease.
There are usually no symptoms of kidney disease in the early stages. At a more advanced stage, symptoms can include tiredness, swollen ankles, feet or hands, shortness of breath, feeling sick, blood in your pee (urine). It may only be diagnosed if you have a blood or urine test for another reason, and the results show a possible problem with your kidneys.
