Recognizing signs of kidney problems early can help prevent serious health issues. Here are ten signs that your kidneys might be in danger:
1. Persistent Fatigue: When your kidneys are not functioning well, toxins can build up in the blood, causing fatigue and a general feeling of being unwell.
2. Changes in Urination: This includes urinating more frequently, especially at night, or seeing changes in the color or appearance of your urine (e.g., foamy, dark, or bloody).
3. Swelling in Legs, Ankles, or Feet: Kidneys help remove excess fluid from the body. If they are not working properly, fluid can accumulate, leading to swelling.
4. Shortness of Breath: Kidney problems can cause fluid to build up in the lungs, leading to difficulty breathing.
5. Persistent Itching: Poor kidney function can lead to an accumulation of waste products in the blood, which can cause itching and skin irritation.
6. Loss of Appetite or Nausea: When your kidneys aren’t working properly, waste buildup can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
