Kidney Health

 Here are a few signs that might indicate your kidneys are not functioning properly:

1. Changes in Urination: Pay attention to changes in your urination patterns. This could include more frequent urination, difficulty urinating, or changes in the color and smell of your urine.
2. Swelling: Kidney problems can lead to swelling in your legs, ankles, feet, face, or hands due to the body retaining extra fluid (edema).
3. Fatigue and Weakness: Healthy kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin, which helps in the production of red blood cells. Kidney problems can lead to anemia, causing fatigue and weakness.
4. Shortness of Breath: Kidney disease can lead to fluid buildup in the lungs, causing shortness of breath.
5. Itching and Skin Rashes: Kidney failure can cause waste products to accumulate in the blood, leading to skin problems like itching and rashes.
6. High Blood Pressure: Kidneys play a role in regulating blood pressure. Chronic kidney disease can lead to high blood pressure or can be a result of high blood pressure.
7. Nausea and Vomiting: Buildup of waste products in the body can cause nausea and vomiting.
8. Metallic Taste in Mouth: Kidney dysfunction can lead to a metallic taste in the mouth and bad breath.
9. Blood in Urine: This is a sign that there might be a problem with your kidneys or urinary tract and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
10. Puffiness Around Eyes: Swelling (edema) around the eyes, especially in the morning, can be a sign of kidney problems.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or have concerns about your kidney health, it's important to see a healthcare provider. They can perform tests, such as blood and urine tests, to assess your kidney function and provide appropriate guidance based on your specific situation. 

Regular check-ups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including staying hydrated, exercising, and managing conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, can also support kidney health.
