I wouldn't be surprised, but is't not likely your weakness is caused by kidney disease.

@Lonewolfie There are any NUMBER of things that can cause weakness. The list is huge.

@PhoenixPhail so how did u know its not caused by kidney
PhoenixPhail · M
@Lonewolfie I don't. But the likelihood of it being something else, something more common, is so great, the probability is high that it's not from your kidneys. Do you have kidney problems?

@PhoenixPhail yeah i do have kidney problems

@Lonewolfie If your kidneys aren't filtering out toxins like they should, then that raises the likelihood that your weakness COULD be caused by your kidneys. Has it ever been suggested you go on dialysis?

@PhoenixPhail no
