Are you experiencing hair loss, nausea, vomiting, and trouble keeping food down with stage 2 kidney disease?

Stage 2 kidney disease is generally considered a mild stage, and these symptoms — especially nausea, vomiting, and inability to keep food down — are not typical at this stage. These symptoms are more commonly associated with later stages (stage 4 or 5), when waste builds up significantly in the blood.

This is important: please contact your doctor or nephrologist as soon as possible. These symptoms could mean your kidney function has changed, or something else needs attention. When you speak with your doctor, mention all of your symptoms clearly, including:

- Hair loss
- Nausea and vomiting
- Inability to keep food down
- Any changes in urination
- Any swelling in hands, feet, or face

Your doctor may want to recheck your eGFR and run blood and urine tests to see where things stand. Don't wait on this one — keeping food down is essential for your overall health and kidney function. You deserve to feel better! 💛
