What Can I Do To Manage Fatigue And Backache While Suffering From A Kidney Disease?

I recently have been diagnosed with kidney disease and had an ultrasound done yesterday. But here is my questions. For some time now I experience fatigue, back pain that can be severe at times. It’s not that I feel sick I just feel different. It’s hard to explain. I have the desire to rest a lot but I am normally a very active person. What can I do to keep myself going and not want to stop so often?

Hi,

The kidney disease is one of the cause for fatigue. So you need to get treated for kidney disease according to cause. Additionally you can investigate as follows:

_CBC to rule out anemia
_serum TSH estimation to rule out hypothyroidism
_serum vitamin D estimation to rule out low calcium
_SGPT, SGOT estimation to rule out liver disease

You can revert with reports once done.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
