Are your kidneys okay? If these 10 signs are seen in the body, then do not ignore them even by mistake:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Kidney is a very important organ of our body, which works to clean the blood and remove dirt from the body. When any problem starts in the kidneys, our body starts giving some signals. Often we ignore these signs considering them minor, which can later take the form of a major disease.

Let us know about those 10 signs which may indicate kidney damage.

1. Swelling in feet and ankles
If there is persistent swelling in your feet, ankles or heels, it can be a major sign of kidney problem. When the kidneys do not function properly, sodium starts accumulating in the body, which causes swelling.

2. Feeling very tired
If you feel tired and weak all the time, even without any special effort, then you should be careful. Kidneys help in providing energy to the body by purifying the blood. When there is a problem in this, dirt starts accumulating in the body, due to which one feels tired.

3. Foam in urine
If there is a lot of foam forming in your urine that persists even after flushing, it may be a sign that protein is being released through urine. This is an early symptom of kidney disease.

4. Loss of appetite
Due to kidney problems, toxic substances start accumulating in the body, which also affects our appetite. If you have suddenly lost your appetite or do not feel like eating, do not take it lightly.

5. Dryness and itching in the skin
When the kidneys are unable to clean the blood properly, the balance of minerals and nutrients in the blood gets disturbed. Its effect is also visible on our skin, due to which the skin may become dry and there may be constant itching.

6. Frequent urination
If you feel the need to urinate frequently, especially at night, it may be a sign of kidney filter failure.

7. Swelling around the eyes
Just like swollen feet, if there is persistent swelling around your eyes in the morning, it can also be a sign of protein leaking from urine.

8. Muscle cramps
Imbalance of electrolytes in the body can cause muscle cramps or pain. Kidneys help in controlling minerals like calcium and phosphorus in the body.

9. Trouble sleeping
When the kidneys are unable to filter properly, toxins accumulate in the body, which can cause difficulty in sleeping. This condition is also called sleep apnea, which is related to kidney diseases.

10. Change in color of urine or bleeding
If the color of your urine becomes very dark or traces of blood are visible in it, this is a serious sign and you should consult a doctor immediately.

If you feel any of these symptoms in your body, then consult a doctor without any delay.
