2. Changes in urination
The most obvious early signs are:
Difficulty urinating
Pressure during the process
Dark urine, urinating less often and in small quantities
Pale color of urine, often and in large quantities
Foamy urine
Much urge to urinate during the night
3. Skin rashes
The accumulation of waste in our body can be related to kidney failure – the skin has a lot of rashes and itching. All the waste gets piled up in the blood and makes the skin unhealthy, dry and irritated. Lotions, creams and cosmetics can provide some relief, but do not solve the problem that comes from within – IF the rash is directly caused by kidney problems, of course.
4. Fatigue
If the kidneys are healthy, they produce EPO (erythropoietin), a hormone that makes more red blood cells that bring oxygen where it is needed. If the number of red blood cells decreases, fatigue occurs and this will impact the brain and also the muscles. This is also a sign of severe anemia.
5. Shortness of breath
This is a common problem, but it could be related to kidney damage. If the body does not have enough oxygen, it is because of the low number of red blood cells that deliver oxygen everywhere. The amount of these blood cells is related to the harmful toxins that build up in the lungs.
6. Metallic taste in mouth / metallic taste
The waste accumulated in the blood will change your taste for food and even cause bad breath all the time. Another sign of kidney damage is marked changes in food preferences or lack of appetite.
7. Pain
Pain in the upper back or kidney area is another symptom of this condition. The pain can be triggered even more by infections or kidney stones.
8. Poor concentration and dizziness
Poor oxygen flow to the brain is a clear sign of severe anemia, but also of kidney failure. This will disrupt attention and concentration, making you dizzy and lightheaded and cause memory impairment.
Incorporate healthier foods into your diet and consume more antioxidant foods or supplements. This way, your kidneys will function at their best and process a lot of toxins as well.
