Seven Early Warning Signs of Kidney Disease

Swelling in the Body

Unusual swelling in your face, hands or feet may indicate fluid retention linked to kidney problems.

Fatigue and Weakness

Feeling tired or weak even after enough rest? It may be a sign that your kidneys are not working properly.

Change in Urination Pattern

Foamy urine, blood in the urine, or changes in frequency may be warning signs of kidney problems.

Dry or Itchy Skin

Persistent dry, itchy skin or rashes may occur when waste products build up in the bloodstream.

Shortness of Breath

Difficulty breathing may occur when excess fluid builds up in the body due to reduced kidney function.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can be linked to kidney problems and may also affect kidney function over time.

Nausea and Vomiting

Frequent nausea or vomiting may occur when waste products build up in the blood due to poor kidney function.
