Introduction
Kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste and excess fluids from your blood. When they start to malfunction, early warning signs may appear, but they’re often overlooked. Recognizing these signs early can help prevent serious kidney damage and maintain overall health.
Signs to Watch For:
Changes in Urination
Increased frequency, especially at night, or urine that appears foamy, bloody, or unusually dark.
Swelling in Legs, Ankles, or Face
Kidneys failing to remove excess fluid can cause puffiness or swelling, especially around the eyes and lower extremities.
Fatigue and Weakness
Poor kidney function can lead to a buildup of toxins and impurities, causing you to feel unusually tired or weak.
Shortness of Breath
