AN AN (THEO BRIGHT SIDE) |

Every day, the human mind has to process a lot of information and the body performs countless actions. However, no matter how busy you are, don't forget to take time to observe and pay attention to different signs of the body. Not paying attention to unusual signals can lead to very serious consequences. Bright Side has released a list of signs that your kidneys are not functioning properly.

1.Changes related to urination The kidneys are the agency responsible for producing urine and eliminating waste through it.
Therefore, you should not ignore changes in urine frequency, urine smell, and color.Common changes include increased urine needs, especially at night.urinating 4 to 10 times a day is considered normal.The next common sign is seeing urine in the blood.Healthy kidneys filter waste from the blood to create urine, but if the filter has problems, blood cells can start to "flow" into urine.

2.High blood pressure Your circulatory and kidney systems depend on and are closely related.
The kidneys contain nephrons that help filter waste and excess fluid out of the blood.If the blood vessels have problems, the blood-filtering nephrons will not receive enough oxygen and nutrients.That is why high blood pressure is the second cause of kidney failure.You need to immediately supplement foods rich in folic acid because it participates in the production of red blood cells, preventing anemia.

3.Eye bags Initial signs that the filter system of the kidneys is having problems are the appearance of eye bags.
The fat around the eyes is because your kidneys are excreting a large amount of protein into your urine.Book an appointment to see a doctor immediately if this condition persists.

4.Back pain Sub-difficulty can lead to back pain - the back just below the rib framework, even deepening down to the area near the groin or hips.
Back and leg pain can even be caused by kidney cysts.This condition is accompanied by repeated urination, weakness, vomiting, and high body temperature, which are symptoms of especially dangerous polycystic kidney disease.If you continue to have back pain and the painkillers are ineffective, see your doctor.

5.Swelling in the ankles, feet, and hands Unusual kidney function will not remove waste from the body.
This leads to sodium retention, which causes swelling in the ankles, feet and hands.

6.Shortness of breath The link between kidney disease and feeling short of breath is caused by two factors.
First, excess fluid in the body moves into the lungs, through the kidneys that are not filtered.Two is anemia, which causes the body to lose oxygen, leading to difficulty breathing.

7.Breathing bad breath, smelling metal When waste accumulates in the blood, it will change the flavor of food and leave a foul smell and metal smell in your mouth.
In addition, kidneys have problems leading to anorexia carnicola and anorexia in general, which can lead to unhealthy weight loss.

8.Dry, itchy skin Healthy kidneys remove waste and excess fluid from the blood, which helps produce red blood cells and maintain the right amount of minerals in your body.
Dry and itchy skin is a sign of the kidneys not maintaining the right balance of minerals and nutrients, which can lead to bone and kidney disease.

9.Headaches, fatigue, physical weakness Healthy and functional kidneys will metabolize Vitamin D in the body to maintain strong bones and produce a hormone called Erythropoietin (EPO).
This hormone plays an important role in the production of red blood cells.When the kidneys are not functioning normally, they will produce less EPO.The decline in red blood cells leads to fatigue of muscles and the brain.Experts warn that people with chronic kidney disease often have anemia.

10.Difficulty sleep When your kidneys are not functioning normally, it causes the poison to not be able to escape from the body through urine and still remain in the blood.
Increased levels of toxins make it difficult for you to fall asleep.That is why when you sleep less, you will increase the risk of impaired kidney function.
