Manifestations Showing That Your Kidneys Aren't Working Properly

1. Changes in urination

Kidneys are known  for producing urine and eliminating waste through it. Changes in the frequency, odor, color and appearance of urine should not be ignored.

2. High blood pressure

If the blood vessels get damaged, the nephrons that filter your blood don’t receive enough oxygen and nutrients. That’s why high blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure.

3. Puffy eyes

An early sign that your kidney’s filter system is damaged is the onset of protein in the urine, which can result in puffiness around the eye area. This is because the kidney leak protein into the urine than sharing it to the body.

4. Having back pain

Kidney failure can result in back pain that is usually deep and located right below the rib cage. It can be felt in the front of the groin or hip area.

5. Swelling in ankles, feet and hands

Kidneys that are failing to perform properly don’t remove any extra fluid from the body. This leads to sodium retention which causes swelling in your ankles, feet and hands.

6. Breath becomes short

Extra fluid in the body moves into the lungs when kidneys are not functioning properly, anemia deprives your body of oxygen and this results in shortness of breath.

7. Having bad breath and metallic taste

Having bad breath is another sign of having too many toxins and contamination in the bloodstream. Furthermore, you may stop wanting meat and lose your appetite in general, which can lead to unhealthy weight loss.

8. Dry and itchy skin

Itchy and dry skin signal the failure of kidneys to maintain the right balance of minerals and nutrients which can result in bone and kidney disease.

9. Headaches, fatigue and general weakness

The decline of red blood cells (those that carry oxygen) results in rapid fatigue of your muscles and brain.

10. Inability to sleep

When your kidneys are not working properly, it shows that toxins cannot leave the body through urine and remain in the blood. Increased level of toxins make it hard to fall asleep. Therefore it is hard to sleep thus much chances of kidney function decline.
