Hi everyone,

I am 38 and nervous I may have kideny failure- perhaps I am scaring myself, but I am urinating very little, experiencing water retention as my lower body swells, and I am experiencing constant fatigure or tiredness.

Through my research, it seems to be signs of kidney failure.

I had a UTI years ago, but nothing else I can think of would have cause this. I have an appointment with my PCP in 2 weeks, but I am a nervous wreck and think I need to go to the emergency walk-in, but just cant because of the cost right now.

Any help? Any things I can do to help?

I was extremely fatigued, hot, thirsty and couldn't eat or hold anything down. My back hurt so bad I couldn't stand or walk without assistant n I lost 20 pds in a week. If you wait it will get worse, I would go get checked.
