When your kidney disease develops to end stage, it will cause a lot of body malaise. Leg pain is one of them. What causes pain in lower extremities in end stage renal disease (ESRD)?
Muscle cramp
In ESRD, many factors can cause muscle cramp, such as dialysis, calcium and magnesium deficiency, acidosis, side effects of medications, etc. It can make you feel pain in lower extremities.
Bone disease
Bone disease such as osteoporosis is a common complication of kidney disease, because the damaged kidneys can not activate vitamin D to help body absorb calcium. Besides, high phosphorus level in the blood can draw calcium from the bones so as to make them fragile. With bone disease, you may have pain in lower extremities or even the whole body.
Arthritis
The damaged kidneys are not able to remove excess uric acid from the blood. Those uric acid may deposit in the joints, such as leg joints or feet joints, leading to joint inflammation.
Nerve problems
The high toxin concentration in the blood may damage the nerves, which can cause restless leg syndrome and so other symptoms to make you have leg pain.

As long as you have such a symptom, you can take the above aspects into consideration and then take corresponding measures to relieve it.

It can also provide the damaged kidneys with essential nutrients, such as amino acids, trace elements and vitamins to help them recover.
