6 dangerous signs warning of kidney failure that should not be ignored

HOÀNG LỘC (THEO step to health) |

Kidney failure is a dangerous disease that can cause many serious complications. Here are 6 signs of dangerous kidney failure that you should not ignore.

1. Inflammation, edema

kidney failure can lead to water retention in the body, causing swelling in parts such as the legs, feet, ankles, face, hands and abdomen. This is a common symptom of kidney failure, which can be easily detected.

2. Irregular heart rate

Rhipbugs are a common form of irregular heartbeat, especially in adults, which can increase the risk of kidney failure.

3. Changes when urinating

Kidney failure can cause many changes in urination habits such as feeling tight, bloody urine, dark urine or strong odor.

You may also experience heavy urination at night, urinary incontinence or foaming urine.

4. Fatigue

The kidneys play an important role in the production of the hormone erythropoietin, which helps create red blood cells to transport oxygen in the blood. When the kidneys are deficient, this process is interrupted, causing you to feel tired, muscle pain, and difficulty concentrating.

5. Feeling cold

Kidney failure can lead to anemia, making the body feel cold, even in a warm environment. People with kidney failure may feel chilly and unable to warm their bodies even after being exposed to sunlight.

6. Lower back pain

Lower back pain, especially in the lower back or side of the hip, can be a sign of kidney disease. This pain can be related to problems such as polycystic kidney disease, kidney stones and liver diseases. If the pain becomes more severe after standing for a long time, you need to pay attention.

These signs should not be ignored. If you have any problems, you should consult your doctor immediately to promptly detect and treat kidney failure.
