Fatigue As the kidneys fail, they make less EPO.With fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen, your muscles and brain tire very quickly.This is anemia , and it can be treated.
Skin Rash/Itching Kidneys remove wastes from the bloodstream.When the kidneys fail, the build-up of wastes in your blood can cause severe itching.
Dizziness and Trouble Concentrating
