As important as the kidney is to our health, we often neglect it due to the foods we eat and the lack of attention we pay to it when symptoms of renal failure first show. According to WebMD, one of the reasons we may have overlooked these symptoms is because we were not aware of the numerous signs and symptoms of renal failure, which this article can illuminate for us.

 

The significance of kidney health and how to maintain it have previously been highlighted in one of my articles. Controlling blood pressure, promoting red blood cell production, filtering the blood, and removing waste materials are all functions of the kidney.

As a result of kidney damage, the kidney’s role in the body is diminished, resulting in the following symptoms:

The inability to eat

Having kidney failure might cause an inability to eat or an under-resourcement of the body. Staying hydrated and getting enough sleep are the best ways to avoid weight gain.

The feeling of exhaustion.

A decrease in the formation of red blood cells (which carry oxygen throughout the body) due to kidney failure may cause fatigue, decreased stamina, or dizziness. Consume a lot of water, apples, and no alcohol or caffeine in order to avoid this.

3. Urinary discomfort

Cut back on sugar and salt to see if that helps ease urinary discomfort. Vitamin C-rich foods like oranges should be consumed in addition to painkillers. If the discomfort persists, seek medical attention.

4. Inability to get enough rest

When the kidneys fail, patients may find it difficult to sleep. If this is the case, make sure you drink plenty of water, avoid caffeinated beverages, get plenty of exercise, keep your bedroom tidy, and eat a healthy meal around three to four hours before you go to bed.

5. Swelling of any part of the body(like feet, arm, hand, etc)

Parts including the hands, legs and face may begin to enlarge because of fluid accumulation in the body. Failure of the kidneys may prevent the excretion of fluid. You can address it by exercising, taking vitamin C supplements, drinking more water, and seeing a doctor.

6. Back pain

In some cases, back or lower ribcage pain may be reported as a result of kidney disease. See a doctor if you observe anything like this.

7. Blood in urine

It is possible for blood to be expelled from the body if the kidneys are damaged. As a result, if you experience any of these symptoms, be sure to stay hydrated and consult with a physician right away.

Writer’s advice:

If you notice any of the following symptoms, take the required steps to avoid kidney damage that could lead to a variety of ailments, such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and so on.
