Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) Questions Nephrologist

I think my kidneys are on the way out?

My feet are swelling, shortness of breath, I could sleep all day. I have a bad rash all over my body, and I am scratching all the time. This has been going on for nearly 3 months.

What is your renal function? Go see a nephrologist in your area.
Yes, you could be in kidney failure, but you also could be having heart or liver problems. Thus, you MUST see an internal medicine MD, or a kidney or heart specialist to diagnose your problem and start appropriate treatment. But if you can not see any of those doctors, I advise going to the ER as soon as possible--before it is too late!
