4. Persistent Back or Flank Pain
- Why It Happens: Pain in the back or sides of the abdomen may indicate kidney stones, infections, or other kidney-related problems.
- Action to Take:
- Don’t ignore recurring pain; it could signal a serious issue.
- Schedule imaging tests (ultrasound or CT scan) to check for kidney stones or infections.
5. High Blood Pressure
- Why It Happens: The kidneys regulate blood pressure by balancing sodium and fluid levels. Dysfunction can lead to hypertension.
- Action to Take:
- Monitor your blood pressure regularly.
- Follow a low-sodium diet and consider medications if prescribed.
6. Skin Problems (Itching and Dryness)
- Why It Happens: A buildup of toxins in the bloodstream due to poor kidney function can cause dry, itchy skin.
- Action to Take:
- Use moisturizers to alleviate symptoms.
- Discuss the possibility of kidney dysfunction with your doctor if skin issues persist.
7. Metallic Taste in the Mouth or Bad Breath
- Why It Happens: Waste buildup in the blood (uremia) can cause a metallic taste and unpleasant breath odor.
- Action to Take:
- Practice good oral hygiene to manage symptoms.
- Seek medical evaluation to check kidney function.
8. Difficulty Concentrating or Mental Fog
- Why It Happens: Poor kidney function can lead to anemia or toxin buildup, which reduces oxygen flow to the brain and affects mental clarity.
- Action to Take:
- Stay hydrated and eat iron-rich foods to improve blood oxygenation.
- Consult a doctor if memory or focus issues persist.
9. Nausea and Vomiting
- Why It Happens: The accumulation of waste products in the blood can irritate the stomach lining, causing nausea or vomiting.
- Action to Take:
- Eat small, bland meals to reduce stomach upset.
- Seek medical advice to address underlying kidney problems.
10. Persistent Puffiness Around the Eyes
- Why It Happens: Leakage of protein into the urine (a sign of kidney damage) can lead to fluid retention, causing puffiness around the eyes.
- Action to Take:
- Increase your intake of protein-rich foods if recommended by your doctor.
- Get a urine test to check for protein leakage (proteinuria).
