3. You have trouble sleeping
The third symptom that indicates you might have some trouble with your kidneys is that you experience difficulties sleeping. Many patients diagnosed with kidney disease said that they were feeling tired and were having dizzy spells, which are signs of anemia and also related to kidney disease.
This can lead to fainting and the constant sensation of feeling weak. Scientists explained that dizziness and lack of focus during the day might be two of the symptoms of anemia, and they could relate to kidney disease.
When your kidneys aren’t functioning according to normal parameters, the toxins will stay in the blood even if the normal function is to be eliminated through urine. This might leave you not so well rested during the night. Believe it or not, there is a small line between obesity and chronic kidney disease, and sleep apnea is more common in those with chronic kidney disease compared with the general population.
4. Itchy and dry skin
As we mentioned before, the kidneys are one of the most important organs in your body. From filtering the toxins in your body to helping make red blood cells, keeping the bones strong, and working to keep a specific amount of minerals in your body, they are vital.
Dry skin could be a sign of mineral and bone disease when the kidneys fail to keep the right balance in the blood. Even if this feeling of itchiness comes and goes, it’s often a sign that your kidneys are in trouble.
5. Constant urination
Are you feeling the urge to urinate more often than usual in the middle of the night? Then it’s a sign that there might be a serious issue with your kidneys. Sometimes it can also be a urinary infection or prostate infection in men’s cases. Many patients say they feel pressure, have difficulty urinating, or can’t urinate at all.
This symptom, just like many others, is very often associated with diabetes, which is again a very serious health issue. Spending a very long time on the toilet might not be the best scenario. So if you’re experiencing this, why don’t you make an appointment to see the doctor as soon as possible?
6. Blood in the urine
Your kidneys produce urine so if the color changes, then there might be a serious issue there. Blood in your urine might be another sign of kidney disease.
When you have normal functioning kidneys, the blood cells filter waste from the blood to create urine. When the kidneys are sick, the blood cells begin to leak into the urine. This might also be a sign that you have kidney stones.

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.
