Before bloodwork showed with liver or kidney probs, what symptoms did you exhibit?

For those people with liver or kidney problems...did you have your symptoms long before you were diagnosed with a problem?





I seem to be exhibiting every serious symptoms of a kidney or liver disorder except bloodwork is showing nothing.


Severe pruritus, itchy/buring skin, inflamed RUQ, swollen eyes, nausea and swollen joints, burning eyes. NO blood indicators.


I have a lot of suspicion of have kidney problems, because it started when was holding 10lbs of water.





Swollen kidney? Enflamed Nephrons? Without blood problems?





Thanks very much for sharing your experiences.

I have PBC - Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (Stage 3 liver disease) and am on medication for it. The only symptom I exhibited before being diagnosed is severely itchy skin, which I assumed was dry skin but never had professionally diagnosed. Apparently some liver diseases cause you to itch a lot. Luckily, I was diagnosed during a routine physical where my doctor ran a panel of blood screens and they found the liver enzymes were high. That led to more tests by a specialist, which eventually led to a biopsy to determine for sure what was going on. Anyway, have you gotten a second opinion or gone to a different lab for the blood work? Maybe the doctor isn't running the correct tests on the blood? Good luck, hope you feel better soon.
