10 Serious Signs Your Kidneys Need Help

1. Puffy eyes

Of course, minor swelling in your eyes doesn’t necessarily mean that there is something wrong with your kidneys. But if the swelling is concentrated around the eyes, hands, and feet, it could be the result of nephrotic syndrome, a condition resulting from kidney disease.

This damage can cause too much protein to be released from your body as you urinate. “In nephrotic syndrome, the glomeruli let three grams or more of protein leak into the urine during 24 hours. Protein in the urine is an early sign that the kidneys’ filters have been damaged, allowing protein to leak into the urine,” explains the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). 

2. You’re feeling tired

Kidney health problems often make you more tired, have lower levels of energy, or give you trouble concentrating. If something has happened to your kidneys, this will lead to an accumulation of toxins in your blood. This issue will leave you less focused, with general fatigue and physical weakness. Doctors say that a reduced amount of oxygen to the cells can lead to fatigue.

    Look at Davita.org or Davita.com for advice about even certain foods in the DASH diet that may have too much potasium, phosphorus, sodium, or the wrong kinds of protein not easy on the kidneys. I had to modify my diet alot, dropping almonds, walnuts, certain nut milks, avocados, bananas, raisins, and lots of things that cause too much potasium and phosphorus like even wheat bread. I’m in stage 3b taking Farziga.
