Today, March 13, the international community marks World Kidney Day, an initiative aimed at raising awareness about the vital role kidneys play in our overall health. Globally, chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects an estimated 850 million people, with many cases going undetected due to a lack of awareness about early warning signs.
This year’s theme, “Are Your Kidneys OK? Detect Early, Protect Health Kidney,” highlights the importance of early detection in preventing kidney-related complications. In line with this, here are some key signs from Dr Chinonso Egemba that may indicate your kidneys are struggling. If you experience any of these, it’s essential to consult a doctor before it’s too late:
Frequenting the toilet too often, both day and night. If you find yourself urinating twice or thrice even when you didn’t drink water, then that’s a sign your kidney is finding it hard to water properly.
If you notice blood in your urine then it’s important you call the Doctor because a healthy kidney has a proper way of filtering blood and it won’t be seen in your urine.
If your urine has lots of foam that doesn’t go away almost immediately, then it means protein is leaking in your urine and it’s not a good sign.
When you notice swelling in your foot and ankles, it means your kidney that is responsible for filtering out excess water out of your body isn’t properly functioning reasons why they water stays in your body.
Constant loss of appetite that doesn’t respond to treatment is another way your body is telling you that bean shape organ in your body is struggling.
One other sign and this one is literally at the last stage before your kidney completely fails is when you don’t urinate or your urine can’t feel a cup.
Persistent muscle pull. Constant muscle cramp is due to not proper filtration of your kidney leading to leaking of certain nutrients all over your body resulting to the muscle pull.
–Low blood: the kidney’s function isn’t only to filter water but to equally releases erito puertin that sends signals to the organs when it notices low blood. So when your kidney is struggling erito puertin can’t do that job which will then result in low blood.
If you notice any of these signs in your body, do well to consult a doctor and be sure your kidney is healthy, unless you have the money to pay for a kidney transplant and all the checkups then feel free to not bother. Health they say is wealth, so practice habits that keep your kidney and overall body healthy, by drinking lots of water, eating proper balance diets, including healthy vegetables to your meals, exercising and practice good sleeping habits.
With these information dear reader don’t be among those who will procrastinate their kidney health check, its important to stay healthy and alive.
