Your kidneys are one of the most important organs in your body.

Located just below the rib cage on either side of the spine, they act as the body's primary filter, clearing the blood of waste and toxins. They also help to regulate blood pressure, produce red blood cells, and keep your bones strong and healthy.

Kidney disease can be extremely dangerous, even fatal. Did you know that one out of every seven people in the United States suffers from kidney disease?

That is roughly 37 million people, with more than 90 percent unaware of the indications and symptoms.

️ Summary:
1. High Blood Pressure.

High blood pressure is the second most common cause of renal failure, according to recent studies. Your kidneys and blood vessels are inextricably linked. The kidneys filter toxins through a large number of blood vessels. They have a direct impact on your cardiovascular health and blood pressure.

High blood pressure is extremely harmful to your kidneys. It affects the blood vessels in your kidneys, impairing their capacity to function normally.

2. Blood In Urine.

The kidneys' job is not only to remove waste from the blood but also to keep blood cells from flowing out. When kidney damage occurs, these red blood cells begin to leak out into the urine.

Hematuria, or the presence of blood in your urine, can result from this. It can cause your urine to appear red or brown.

3. Frequent Bathroom Trips.

Have you been using the restroom more often than usual? This may be an indication of kidney problems. Polyuria is characterized by frequent urination and the tendency to urinate a lot each time. If you pass more than 3 liters of urine every day, you may be suffering from polyuria. And what if you hardly ever pee or visit the bathroom? In that situation, you may develop oliguria, which is characterized by a significant decrease in urine volume per day.

4. Swelling In Ankle Or Foot.

Edema is defined as swelling or puffiness in the legs. Fluids become trapped inside your body's tissues as a result of this illness. The development of a tiny hole like structure on your skin distinguishes a "pitting" effect, which can result from even gentle pushing.

5. Itchy And Dry Skin

Dry and itchy skin are prevalent in those who have kidney problems. Because a damaged kidney can no longer flush toxins from your body, more pollutants build up and remain in circulation, leaving limited room for nutrients and oxygen to pass. A lack of crucial nutrients and oxygen in your skin causes it to become dry and rough.

6. Back Pain.

Consistent pain in your lower back, usually on the sides, is another major symptom of renal disease. This indicates that your kidneys are in pain. The discomfort is usually profound and positioned directly beneath the rib cage. It can also be felt at the front of your groin or hip area. The soreness might sometimes spread to your legs.

7. Difficulty Concentrating And Brain Fog.

Anemia is a typical side effect of chronic kidney disease. Anemia affects around 60 percent of people with kidney illnesses. Constant yawning, being out of breath after light physical exertion, becoming quickly annoyed, feeling exhausted, or observing an irregular heartbeat are all indicators of anemia.

8. Problems Sleeping.

You may have a sleeping disorder if you frequently lie awake at night thinking about things other than sleep. According to research, sleep disorders disproportionately affect people with kidney disease, especially those who are in end-stage renal disease.
