6 signs of kidney failure
Kidney is an important part of our body that works to clean the blood, remove toxic substances from the body and control blood pressure. When the functionality of the kidney slows down or does not work properly, the body gives some indication. Unfortunately people ignore these signs as normal,
Overall, kidney disease develops slowly and sometimes symptoms are so light that people ignore them. If you are feeling any of these six symptoms continuously, do not take it lightly. This ignoring can create serious conditions like kidney failure later.
What symptoms are seen before kidney failure
Dr. Manish Tiwari in Nephrology Department at Sir Gangaram Hospital Has given these symptoms
1 Repeated fatigue and weakness
The first indication is frequent fatigue and weakness feeling. When the kidney is unable to clean the blood properly, toxins start accumulating in the body. This makes the person feel tired and weak all the time, even if he is not working too much.
2 urination problems
The second sign is problems related to urination. Repeated urination, burning sensation in urine, its color thick or foamy. All these symptoms can point to kidney failure. If blood is seen in urine, it can be even more serious signal.
3 face, eyes or ankles swelling
The third common symptom is swelling in the face, eyes or ankles. When the kidney cannot drain excess water from the body, it starts accumulating in the body. Its effect is especially seen as swelling under the eyes or heaviness in the feet.
4 lower appetite
The fourth indication is to reduce hunger and nausea. Increasing the amount of waste materials in the blood affects the digestive system. Due to this, a person is not interested in food, nausea starts coming and sometimes vomiting can also occur.
5 Skin itching and dryness
The fifth sign is itching and dryness in the skin. When the kidney is unable to maintain minerals and nutrients, it affects the skin. Constant itching, skin dry and red rashes can be signs.
6 breathlessness
Sixth and serious signal is breathlessness. Due to kidney failure, water can accumulate in the body, which puts pressure on the lungs. Apart from this, when the amount of oxygen in the blood is low, there may be difficulty in breathing.
Keep in mind the health of the kidney
Drink plenty of water to keep the kidney healthy, avoid too much salt and packed food, keep blood pressure and diabetes under control, and do not take painkillers or other medicines without doctor’s advice.
