Your kidneys work quietly behind the scenes, filtering waste and balancing fluids. When they start struggling, your body may send subtle—or sometimes obvious—signals. Here are key signs to watch for:
1. Changes in Urination
Needing to urinate more often, especially at night
Urine that is foamy, bubbly, dark, or blood-tinged
Pain or burning during urination
2. Swelling (Edema)
Puffiness around the eyes, hands, feet, or ankles
Caused by fluid retention when kidneys can’t remove excess water
3. Fatigue and Weakness
Waste buildup in the blood can lead to persistent tiredness
Difficulty concentrating and feeling weak
4. Skin Issues
