Some signs on your body show that your kidneys are not in good health form. Kidneys are part of the urinary system which filtered fluids in our body from toxins, so they have important role for our well-being. Daily they filter 10-150 quarts of blood and also clean and detoxify the blood.
However, when the kidneys are at risk, the overall health is in danger. For that reason, it is of crucial importance to detect the symptoms that our body shows in order to prevent further damage.
Signs That Point Out a Kidney Damage
1. Swelling
It is the most common and visible symptom which indicates some serious problem with the kidneys. It occurs because the body retains the excess water causing bloating in the limbs, face and joints.
2. Changes in the urination

3. Skin Rashes
When the bodily fluids and waste are accumulated in the body, the skin manifests certain changes, looking unhealthy, itchy and with rashes. Using creams and certain cosmetic products won’t help too much since the problem lies in the kidney. So, for that reason a medical check-up is required.
4. Fatigue
The kidneys not only filtrate the blood and remove the waste but produce a hormone, EPO (erythropoietin), which stimulates the production of more red blood cells that bring the oxygen where needed. Unless there isn’t a needed amount of red blood cells, the body will experience fatigue, reflecting on the brain and the muscles as well. Further, this could lead to a serious anemia.
5. Shortness of breath
The insufficient amount of red blood cells could not provide the needed level of oxygen, building up the toxins in the lungs and thus causing difficulty breathing.
6. Metalic taste in the mouth
The high amount of waste in the organism accompanied with improper kidney’s function leads to bed breath and changes in the flavor of the food.
7. Lack of concentration and dizziness
The low amount of oxygen in the brain could not just point out anemia but also an improper function of the kidneys. This would disturb the concentration and focus, make you dizzy and forgetful.
