End-stage kidney failure is the final stage of chronic kidney disease, and it can lead to loss of kidney function and ultimately death. Here are some signs and symptoms that may indicate someone is dying from kidney failure:
- Water retention/swelling of legs and feet
- Loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting
- Confusion
- Shortness of breath
- Insomnia and sleep issues
- Itchiness, cramps, and muscle twitches
- Passing very little or no urine
- Drowsiness and fatigue
- Abnormally dark or light skin
- Nail changes
- Bone pain
- Drowsiness and confusion
- Problems concentrating or thinking
- Numbness in the hands, feet, or other areas
It is important to note that a natural death from kidney failure does not hurt. As toxins build up in the blood, the person may start to feel sleepy, and water building up in the blood can make it difficult to breathe. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention.
