1. Persistent Fatigue
When your kidneys can’t filter waste properly, toxins build up in the blood. This can leave you feeling drained, sluggish, and unable to concentrate.
2. Swelling in Ankles, Feet, or Hands
Kidneys regulate fluid balance. If they’re failing, fluid can collect in the body, causing noticeable puffiness or edema, especially in the lower extremities.
3. Blood in Urine
Pink, red, or cola-colored urine may indicate your kidneys are leaking blood. This is a serious sign of infection, kidney stones, or even cancer.
