A member asked:

Are the symptoms of kidney disease and mono similar?

Dr. Veeraish Chauhan answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Not usually: The usual symptoms of mono (infectious mononucleosis) include sore throat, fever, pharyngeal inflammation. A host of other manifestations are possible (hemolytic anemia, hepatitis) which may rarely affect the kidneys indirectly, but that would be a stretch!
