Be wary of several signs of bad kidneys

1. Edema. The kidneys are the organs used by the human body to excrete water. If the kidneys are not good, excess water will accumulate in the body. In the early stages of the disease, patients often develop edema of the eyelids, face, and lower limbs, which then progresses to persistent or generalized edema. In severe cases, pleural effusion and ascites may occur.

2. Poor appetite. When there is a problem with kidney function, toxins such as creatinine and urea will gradually accumulate in the human body and stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to loss of appetite, smelly urine, ulcers on the tongue and oral mucosa, upper abdominal fullness, nausea, and vomiting. , diarrhea and gastrointestinal bleeding, etc. This is even the first symptom for many patients with kidney disease when they seek medical treatment.

3. Itchy skin. When renal insufficiency occurs, toxins such as urea nitrogen and creatinine cannot be fully discharged from the body, resulting in the deposition of urea cream and calcium salts in the skin. Skin itching often occurs, accompanied by facial skin becoming darker, dry, dull, and chlorotic.
