Where do you itch with kidney disease?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It may affect your whole body or be limited to a specific area â usually your back or arms. Itching tends to affects both sides of the body at the same time and may feel internal, like a crawling feeling just below the skin.

I've just had a routine ultrasound and it turns out my left kidney is now just 7.5 cm, even though my right one seems to be normal. When I had a scan about five years ago, the left kidney was 10 cm. I also did a urine test that showed 100 mgdL of protein and my serum creatinine level is at 1.24. Should I be worried about this? Could this be Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
While these findings could indicate early kidney issues, including CKD, its important to get a thorough evaluation from a nephrologist. They will be able to assess the underlying cause of the kidney size change, proteinuria, and creatinine elevation. With early intervention and appropriate treatment, kidney function can often be preserved, so dont delay in seeking specialized care.
