12 symptoms of kidney disease you should not ignore

Most people are not aware of the fact that kidney diseases can be silent killers. They may not show any symptoms for a long time till the situation becomes critical. It is important to recognize the symptoms of kidney diseases to catch them early. Here is a list of twelve such symptoms you should look out for:


Changes in your urinary function


: The first symptom of kidney disease is changes the amount, frequency of your urination. There may be an increase or decrease in amount and/or its frequency, especially at night. It may also look more dark colored. You may feel the urge to urinate but are unable to do so when you get to the restroom.


Difficulty or pain during voiding : Sometimes you have difficulty or feel pressure or pain while voiding. Urinary tract infections may cause symptoms such as pain or burning during urination. When these infections spread to the kidneys they may cause fever and pain in your back.


Blood in the urine : This is a symptom of kidney disease which is a definite cause for concern. There may be other reasons, but it is advisable to visit your doctor in case you notice it.


Swelling : Kidneys remove wastes and extra fluid from the body. When they are unable to do so, this extra fluid will build up causing swelling in your hands, feet, ankles and/or your face.


Extreme fatigue and generalized weakness : Your kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin which helps make red blood cells that carry oxygen. In kidney disease lower levels of erythropoietin causes decreased red blood cells in your body resulting in anemia. There is decreased oxygen delivery to cells causing generalized weakness and extreme fatigue.


Dizziness & Inability to concentrate : Anemia associated with kidney disease also depletes your brain of oxygen which may cause dizziness, trouble with concentration, etc.


Feeling cold all the time : If you have kidney disease you may feel cold even when in a warm surrounding due to anemia. Pyelonephritis (kidney infection) may cause fever with chills.


Skin rashes and itching : Kidney failure causes waste build-up in your blood. This can causes severe itching and skin rashes.


Ammonia breath and metallic taste : Kidney failure increases level of urea in the blood (uraemia). This urea is broken down to ammonia in the saliva causing urine-like bad breath called ammonia breath. It is also usually associated with an unpleasant metallic taste (dysgeusia) in the mouth.


Nausea and vomiting : The build-up of waste products in your blood in kidney disease can also cause nausea and vomiting.


Shortness of breath : Kidney disease causes fluid to build up in the lungs. And also, anaemia, a common side-effect of kidney disease, starves your body of oxygen. You may have trouble catching your breath due to these factors.


Pain in the back or sides : Some cases of kidney disease may cause pain. You may feel a severe cramping pain that spreads from the lower back into the groin if there is a kidney stone in the ureter. Pain may also be related to polycystic kidney disease, an inherited kidney disorder, which causes many fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. Interstitial cystitis, a chronic inflammation of the bladder wall, causes chronic pain and discomfort.

It is important to identify kidney disease early because in most cases the damage in the kidneys can’t be undone. To reduce your chances of getting severe kidney problems, see your doctor when you observe one or more of the above symptoms. If caught early, kidney disease can be treated very effectively.

Research by WCPT reveals global picture on direct access to physical therapy

Research by WCPT has for the first time provided authoritative information about the extent to which patients can directly access physical therapists without referral by a third party. Papers based on the research have been published in the journals Physiotherapy and Physical Therapy, and are available to view as open access.

In the research, 72 out of WCPT’s 106 member organisations responded and 40 of these said that direct access and patient self-referral were permitted in their countries - either because it was permitted by legislation, or because professional practice allowed it in the absence of legislation.

Direct access to physical therapy, or self-referral as it is known in some countries, first occurred in Australia in the 1970s. WCPT believes it should be up to the profession in each country to decide whether to pursue direct access, in the context of their own educational standards.

“Progress across WCPT’s member organisations has been varied, and the issue is now a high-profile advocacy issue for many,” says Tracy Bury, WCPT’s Director of Professional Policy.

“Some member organisations have already reaped the benefits of advocacy initiatives and legislative change, and many more strive to make the changes and are keen to learn from their international colleagues.”

The research found that, of the 40 countries where direct access was permitted, 19 said it was available in both public and private settings and 17 said it was only available in private settings. Fifteen member organisations reported that direct access occurred in private settings even though it did not appear to be supported by legislation or professional practice.

Member organisations were asked whether physical therapy qualifying education equipped physical therapists for direct access. Sixty-nine percent of respondents said that it did, and 31% said it did not.

“Although WCPT has produced guidelines for physical therapist entry level education, they remain aspirational for some WCPT members, while others exceed them,” said Tracy Bury. “Education plays a vital part in equipping physical therapists with the requisite competencies to accept patients who self-refer.”

Co-author Emma Stokes, WCPT’s Vice President, said the study is the first global map of patient self-referral. “We now know that physical therapy professional autonomy is greater in countries where patients/clients can self-refer to physical therapists,’ she said. “In countries where physical therapists wish to move to direct access, they need to ensure that the physical therapy community is prepared educationally and professionally for theNaveed Babur

“The research provides information on barriers and facilitators and case studies on what assisted in moving the profession towards achieving patient/client self-referral and this information will be helpful, we hope, for member organisations’ advocacy initiatives. Global data is helpful for negotiations with policy makers and also, possibly, insurance companies.”
