The kidneys are vital organs in the human body, located under the rib
cage, and are responsible for detoxification and cleaning of the
system, as they filter 10-150 quarts blood on a daily basis.
Their function is extremely important for the entire body and the blood.
They remove the excess amounts of waste and fluids from the body,
support the health of the bones, balance the electrolytes, stabilize the
blood pressure, and increase the number of red blood cells.
Therefore, if their function is somehow endangered, the entire body
is at great risk, so you should know how to recognize the symptoms and
thus prevent major issues, as kidney damage or failure:
- The most common and early symptoms include:
- Foamy urine
- Dark urine, less frequent urinating and urinating in small amounts
- Urges to urinate during the night
- Pressure during urinating
- Trouble urinating
- Pale color, frequent urination, and in large amounts
In the case of a weakened function of the kidneys, the fail to
eliminate excess fluids from the body and thus lead to swellings and
bloating of the face, limbs, and joints.
This sign may often be associated with kidney damage. The reduced
number of red blood cells, due to the accumulated toxins in the lungs,
reduces the amount of oxygen in the body.
Skin rashes
Kidney failure may lead to accumulation of waste, and thus to itching
and skin rashes. As waste is build up in the blood, the skin looks
irritated, dry, and unhealthy. These issues cannot be easily solved with
the use of creams and lotions, since the root problem is internal, due
to the problems linked to your
Metallic taste in the mouth
The waste buildup in the blood alters the taste of foods and leads to bad breath. Poor appetite and severe change in some foods indicate kidney damage.
Bad Concentration And Dizziness
Kidney failure, as well as severe anemia, lead to a poor flow of oxygen to the brain, and this ends up in memory problems, poor concentration, dizziness, and light-headedness.
Pain
The pain felt in the area of the kidneys indicates kidney stones or infections of the urinary tract.
Fatigue
Healthy kidneys produce a hormone known as EPO (erythropoietin),
which increases the number of red
blood cells, which carry the needed
oxygen. If the number of red blood cells is decreased, it leads to
fatigue, and brain and muscles problems. These signs may also be
attributed to severe anemia.
Hence, you need to consume healthy foods, foods high in antioxidants,
as well as supplements, in order to support the function of the
kidneys, and thus take care of the overall health.
