Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) Questions Chronic Kidney Disease

Other than creatinine, what are the signs of deteriorating kidney functions?

What are the physical signs to look out for that indicate deteriorating kidney function? I have kidney disorders in my family, and I really just want to be on the lookout.

Pls do not wait for symptoms, it may be too late.
Chronic fatigue hair loss.
The creatinine level and the estimated GFR that is calculated from the creatinine level and other measurements are the best and earliest indicators. The physical signs are late in the game, so watch the creatinine level.
Weakness, nausea, edema
