Early symptoms of kidney failure: Kidney is the most important organ of your body. They play an important role in purifying the blood. Kidneys also play an important role in removing excess water from the body through urine. Nowadays, kidney related problems are increasing due to changes in lifestyle and eating habits. Many people do not know about it until their kidneys get damaged. But these 8 important symptoms should not be ignored.

Changes in urination: A major early symptom of kidney problems is changes in urination. If you notice symptoms like frequent urination at night, change in urine color, foamy urine or blood in urine, contact your doctor immediately.

Swelling of the face and legs: If the kidneys are not functioning properly, they are unable to remove excess fluid from the body. This causes water to accumulate in the tissues, causing swelling in the feet, legs, face and around the eyes. If this swelling persists, it is a sign of kidney problem.

Excessive tiredness and drowsiness: The kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin. It is helpful in the production of red blood cells. When the kidneys are damaged, the level of this hormone decreases, leading to anemia. As a result, one feels extremely tired even after doing small tasks.

Itching and rashes in the skin: When impurities and waste products accumulate in the blood, the skin becomes dry and itchy. Itching and rashes not getting cured even after applying several creams can be a sign of kidney failure.

Bad breath: When the level of urea in the blood increases, the taste of the mouth changes. The food tastes like iron (metal). There is bad smell from the mouth.

Nausea and vomiting: The digestive system is affected due to the accumulation of toxins in the body. Nausea and repeated vomiting immediately after waking up in the morning are symptoms of kidney disease.

Difficulty breathing: When kidneys fail, water accumulates in the lungs. Due to anemia the body does not get oxygen. This causes difficulty in breathing while walking or climbing stairs.

Back pain: The kidneys are located in the lower back, on either side of the spine. If there are stones or infection in the kidneys, there will be severe pain in that area. Especially if you feel pain under the ribs or in the lower back, it should not be ignored.
