Changes in Skin and Appearance
5. Dry, Itchy Skin
Could be from toxin buildup or mineral imbalance in later CKD stages.
💡 Tip: Moisturizers help, but a blood test is key.
6. Swelling in Feet, Ankles, or Hands
Excess sodium can cause fluid retention.
💡 Tip: Elevate legs and reduce salt to ease puffiness.
7. Morning Eye Puffiness
Often linked to protein loss in urine.
💡 Tip: Cold compresses soothe, but watch for patterns.
8. Pale or Yellowish Skin Tone
Low red blood cell production and toxin buildup can alter skin color.
💡 Tip: Add iron-rich foods after testing.
