- Swelling
Since the kidneys are in charge of filtering fluids from the body, if this fluid is not filtered properly, you may notice swelling in specific body parts like the hands and feet because of the additional struggles and pressure of the kidneys to get rid of surplus fluid, as well as puffy eyes and swollen joints.
- Shortness of breath
When the kidneys are pressured, fluid can start to build up in the lungs and make it difficult for you to breathe properly. When there is not enough oxygen in the blood, it becomes overly hard for the body to function and thus, you will feel as if you are out of breath.
- Rashes
Since the kidneys cannot remove toxins and waste from the body, the body will try to eliminate them in another way or through another organ such as the skin. Hence, you may experience skin problems like rashes, dry and irritated skin, as well as open sores. Although creams and ointments may relieve the symptoms, they will not address the underlying issue, that is, the kidney problem.
