If your kidneys are in danger, your body will give you these 7 signs!

2. Swelling (Edema)

• Kidneys can’t remove excess fluid properly → fluid builds up.
• Swelling appears in ankles, feet, legs, hands, or face.

3. Persistent Fatigue

• Damaged kidneys can’t produce enough erythropoietin, a hormone that helps make red blood cells.
• Low red blood cells → anemia → constant tiredness, weakness, and lack of focus.

4. Back or Side Pain

• Pain around the lower back or sides (flank pain) could signal kidney infection, stones, or cysts.

5. Skin Problems

• Dry, itchy skin can mean waste is not being removed from the blood.
• Mineral and bone imbalances due to kidney dysfunction may also cause itchiness.

6. Shortness of Breath

• Extra fluid can build up in the lungs → difficulty breathing.
• Anemia caused by kidney issues can also reduce oxygen delivery to the body.

7. Nausea and Metallic Taste

• Buildup of waste (uremia) can cause constant nausea, vomiting, and a metallic taste in the mouth.
• You may also notice loss of appetite and bad breath.
