Kidney plays an important role in our body, which is responsible for filtering the blood to remove wastes, regulating electrolyte balance, producing urine and hormones. If kidney has something wrong, much creatinine which belongs to a waste in body can not be eliminated from body through urine. In this way, creatinine level will increase.

Protein in urine and swelling feet are the very common symptoms of stage 3 kidney failure. Besides, the other can also appear on patients: muscle cramp, skin problems, sleeping problems, Urine color changes, more or less urination, high blood pressure, and blood in urine.
