Something felt – and it wasn’t just fatigue
It started with what looked like normal exhaustion.
A little extra fatigue after work, mild swelling in ankles and a strange metal taste in the mouth. Nothing alarming – at least not at first sight. But when the night bathroom trips became more frequent and the back pain refused to leave, the truth was harder to ignore. What looked like smaller, disconnected symptoms were actually warning signs of something much more serious: kidney disease.
Kidney disease often progresses quietly, but can lead to serious health complications if it is not treated. Knowledge of early warning signs of kidney problems is necessary for timely intervention. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, talk to your doctor immediately to protect the kidneys and overall well -being.
The essential roles of your kidneys
Your kidneys are essential for filtering of blood waste, electrolyte balance, blood pressure control and key hormone production. These beans, located near the lower back on both sides of the spine, also help maintain bone strength and promote red blood cell production. Every day, healthy kidneys are filtered about 120-150 liters of blood and eliminate toxins of 1-2 liters of urine.
What is kidney disease?
Kidney disease occurs when the kidneys cannot effectively filter blood. Normal causes include high blood pressure, diabetes, infections, autoimmune conditions or inherited disorders. If it is not treated, this may lead to kidney failure, which may require dialysis or renal transplantation. Being aware of the early characters can help you take action before serious damage occurs.
10 signing, your kidneys may be endangered

 Changes in your urine habits may be an early indicator of kidney problems:
More frequent urination, especially at night
Reduced urine output
Foaming urine, indicating a possible leak of protein
2. Fatigue and low energy
 When the kidney function decreases, less red blood cells are produced, leading to anemia. This may feel tired, weak and mentally fogged.
3. Swelling (edema)
 Poor kidney performance can lead to the accumulation of fluids in the body, causing swelling in areas like:
Legs and ankles
Hands
Face
Belly
4. The persistent pain of the lower back
 Pain or tenderness near the lower back could be associated with kidney problems such as infections or stones.
5. Thinking of appetite and weight loss

6. Nausea or vomiting
 The accumulation of blood toxin may feel nauseous, especially in the morning or after eating.

 People with kidney problems often experience:
Nocturnal spasms
Restless legs
Interrupted sleep due to frequent urination

 A constant metal or ammonia taste in the mouth can be a sign of uremia, a condition caused by the accumulation of waste in the bloodstream.

 The imbalance in calcium and phosphorus levels can cause muscle cramps or involuntary twitching.
10. Itchy skin
