Trouble sleeping, puffiness, high blood pressure, swollen feet, bad breath, back pain ... are warning signs of kidney failure.

The kidneys are responsible for producing urine and removing waste from the body. Therefore, you should be careful when there are abnormal changes in frequency, odor, color ... urine. Specifically:

• Increased need to urinate, especially at night. For normal people, the frequency of urinating 4 to 10 times a day is reasonable.
• There is blood in the urine. Healthy kidneys filter waste from the blood into the urine, if the filter is broken, blood cells may appear in the urine.
• Foamy urine. Bubbles in the urine, especially the ones you have to flush many times over, are due to the protein that appears in the urine.

When the kidneys are not working properly, it means the toxin cannot escape from the body through urine and exists in the blood. Increased toxin levels make it difficult to sleep, which can lead to a decreased risk of kidney function.

Pay attention to typical signs of kidney failure such as frequent urination, blood in the urine ...

People with chronic kidney disease often have sleep apnea. This is a dangerous disorder. Each breath pause can last from a few seconds to a minute. After each pause, normal breathing returned with a loud snort.

In addition, constant snoring loud and often is a warning sign that your health is in trouble.

The circulatory system and the kidneys in the body are interdependent. The kidneys contain small nephrons that filter waste and additional fluids from the blood. If blood vessels are damaged, dialysis nephrons do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients. That's why high blood pressure often causes kidney failure.

Learn to control blood pressure to avoid kidney failure. Supplementing foods rich in folic acid helps prevent anemia.

An early indication that the kidney's filtration system is damaged is the presence of protein in the urine, which can lead to puffiness around the eye area.

Kidney failure can lead to back pain. The pain site is usually deep and just below the rib cage or spread to the groin or hip area.

Back pain is also one of the risks of kidney failure.

Back pain due to kidney failure is accompanied by feeling sick, vomiting, high body temperature and frequent urination. If you have constant back pain and painkillers are not effective, you should see a doctor to accurately diagnose your condition.

The kidneys do not work well that can lead to sodium retention causing swelling of the ankles, feet and hands. Swelling in the lower body can also be a sign of heart and liver disease or leg vein problems.

You have trouble breathing because excess fluid in your body moves into your lungs when your kidneys aren't working properly. In addition, anemia deprives the body of oxygen and leads to shortness of breath.

There are many reasons for difficulty breathing, from kidney failure to asthma, lung cancer or heart failure. If you experience persistent airlessness with little effort in your activity, see your doctor right away.

Bad breath is another sign of too much toxins and pollution in the blood. When waste builds up in your blood, it will change the taste of your food and leave a metallic taste in your mouth. You may stop wanting to eat meat and lose your overall appetite, leading to unhealthy weight loss.

Usually, the metallic taste in your mouth disappears if the cause is completely treated. If it continues to appear, it should be examined by a doctor for a timely remedy.

Healthy kidneys remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood, help create red blood cells and maintain proper mineral levels in the body. Itchy and dry skin indicates an unwell kidney.
