INFORMATIVE 
Tags: Renal transplant failure, Kidney transplantation, organ transplant, acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, symptoms
Renal transplant failure is a term used to describe when a person's kidneys stop working properly during transplantation. Renal failure can be divided into two categories: chronic renal failure, and acute renal failure.
| | The symptoms of kidney failure vary widely by cause of the kidney failure, severity of the condition, and the other body systems that are affected. |
| | Most people have no symptoms at all in the early stages of the disease, because the kidneys are able to compensate so well for the early impairments in the their function. Others have symptoms that are mild, subtle, or vague. |
| | Generally, obvious symptoms appear only when the condition has become severe or even critical. |
| | Kidney failure is not painful, even when severe, although there may be pain from damage to other systems. |
| | Some types of kidney failure cause fluid retention. However, severe dehydration (fluid deficiency) can also cause kidney failure. |
| | Fluid retention - Puffiness, swelling of arms and legs, shortness of breath (due to fluid collection in the lungs, called pulmonary edema). |
| | Dehydration - Thirst, rapid heart rate (tachycardia), dry mucous membranes (such as inside the mouth and nose), feeling weak or lethargic. |
| | Other common symptoms of kidney failure and end-stage renal disease include the following: |
| | Urinating less than usual |
| | Urinary problems - Frequency, urgency |
| | Bleeding - Due to impaired clotting, from any site |
| | Easy bruising |
| | Fatigue |
| | Confusion |
| | Nausea, vomiting |
| | Loss of appetite |
| | Pain - In the muscles, joints, flanks, chest |
| | Bone pain or fractures |
| | Itching |
| | Pale skin (from anemia) |
