Persistent bubbles after flushing could mean protein is leaking into your urine—a sign your kidney filters are stressed.
💡 Tip: Keep a hydration diary to tell dehydration from kidney issues.
2. Frequent Nighttime Urination (Nocturia)
Needing to pee more than once or twice at night may indicate kidneys struggling to concentrate urine.
💡 Tip: Limit evening fluids and track frequency for a week.
3. Blood in Urine (Hematuria)
Pink, red, or cola-colored urine can mean inflammation, stones, or infection.
💡 Tip: Use home test strips for a quick check, but see a doctor promptly.
4. Reduced Urine Output
Producing noticeably less urine despite normal hydration can signal reduced kidney function.
💡 Tip: Use apps to log intake/output for patterns.
