9. Your ankles and feet are swollen

If the kidneys cannot properly do their usual work, sodium will be retained much more easily in your body. Swollen ankles, feet, or hands might be a common sign of kidneys kidney disease. Whether is about it’s regarding the kidneys or water retention the sensation is unpleasant and might give you headaches.

But be aware that swelling in the lower parts of your body might have a connection with heart disease, and liver disease too.

10. Fever

This would be the most unpleasant symptom, especially if you’re facing it during the summer. Even if this may look like you’re dealing with a superficial flu, it might need a serious check-up from your doctor. Instead of staying constant, the fever is rising and falling all the time.

Did this give you the chills? Are you experiencing this? Be aware that kidney disease can be a serious problem for most people, and they aren’t able to recognize it that easily.

The chief of NKF (National Kidney Foundation), says that you’re less likely to experience symptoms until the late stage of the disease, when it might be very dangerous or when you might see the amount of protein in the urine: “This is one of the reasons why only 10 percent of people with chronic kidney disease know that they have it”. So you should probably go and check your health with your doctor before it becomes a serious problem!

Have you ever felt any of these symptoms mentioned above?

NOTE: If you have lower back pain and you think it may be a kidney issue, you should know that they are located above the waist in the back of your body. Every concern you have would be better to share with your doctor. Having a healthy body will make you happier and ready to do some of your favorite activities.

    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.
