Kidney failure in its early stages may not show clear symptoms, but there are some signs that could indicate a kidney problem.
The most important of these signs:
Changes in urination:
Increased or decreased urine output than usual.
Urine that is foamy or contains blood.
The need to urinate at night more than usual.
Body swelling:
Swelling of the hands, feet, or around the eyes due to fluid retention.
Fatigue and exhaustion:
A constant feeling of fatigue due to the accumulation of waste in the body and a lack of red blood cell production.
Blood pressure disorders:
Sudden high blood pressure or difficulty controlling it.
Digestion and appetite problems:
Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite or metallic taste in the mouth.
Itchy and dry skin:
As a result of the accumulation of toxins and mineral deficiency.
Pain in the kidney area or lower back:
Mild pain or a feeling of pressure may occur in the area below the ribs in the back.
Weight changes:
Sudden weight gain due to fluid retention.
Problems with concentration and sleep:
Difficulty concentrating or feeling constantly drowsy due to the accumulation of toxins in the blood.
If any of these symptoms appear, especially swelling or urine changes, it is important to consult a doctor and order kidney tests such as a blood test for creatinine, UREA, and urinalysis, because they help detect the problem early.
