Question: I have kidney disease. Normally you get symptoms lie fever, back pain etc. But for some reason i never got symptoms and that's why i was diagnosed late. Why did i not get symptoms?

I’m really sorry to hear that you have kidney disease, that must be awful for you. Kidneys are really complicated organs which might be one reason. Another is that different people feel pain in different ways which is why you might not have felt the pain. Also there are many different types of diseases.

Its hard to give a “correct” answer to that – I’m not a medical doctor! Of course proper doctors can run loads of tests and feel stuff in your body, check your weight and diet. There are so many things that can go into making a disease. Thats why doctors spend almost 10 years doing exams because medicine is hard and unpredictable! I’m sure your doctors are doing a great job and I hope that you feel better soon!
