Failure To Diagnose Kidney Disease

Kidney disease is a very serious health issue that mostly stems from other health problems or conditions. However, when doctors fail to diagnose kidney disease early or don’t provide the right treatment, it can lead to severe consequences, like complete kidney failure. Sometimes, you’ll need to talk to a kidney lawyer about your options.

This delay or oversight can turn a manageable situation into something much more severe, like complete kidney failure. This might mean lifelong dependence on medications, regular and time-consuming dialysis, and possibly even kidney transplants. Sadly, it often leads to a shortened life expectancy.

A Kidney Disease Misdiagnosis Is Surprisingly Common

The kidneys are extremely crucial organs located in the lower back. They play a critical role in your bodily functions by:

• Filtering waste and excess fluids from your blood, which are then removed from your body through urine
• Controlling blood pressure
• Balancing electrolytes like sodium and potassium
• Producing hormones that support bone health and red blood cell production

The Mayo Clinic provides a detailed overview of kidney disease and symptoms.

When kidney disease sets in, they can’t function properly, resulting in a buildup of waste and fluids in the body.
