Abstract
Only one-half of patients with CRF are known beforehand to have disease, and most present insidiously in the following ways:
-
(1)
with polyuria and nocturia, which are indicative of tubular damage. The time of onset of these symptoms will give an indication of the duration;
-
(2)
with loss of energy and weakness, which are indicative of uraemia and anaemia;
-
(3)
with uraemic nausea and vomiting, or skin itching and paraesthesiae;
-
(4)
with headache, blurred vision and breathlessness indicative of hypertension.
