Kidney failure.. recognizing some common symptoms... Many people live with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and on the verge of kidney failure, without even realizing there is an issue. The gradual transition from unhealthy kidneys to CKD and finally to kidney failure is very subtle with very few symptoms in the early stages. Recognizing the symptoms of impending kidney failure can save you years of health problems & help take a quick action. Some most common signs of kidney failure include * Leg & Back Pain The most typical sign of CKD is lingering pain in the legs and the lower back, close to where the kidneys are situated. The discomfort can be so terrible. This pain and pressure is often due to the kidneys inability to excrete excess fluid from your body, which leads to swelling in the hands, ankles, legs, feet, and face. The location of the affected kidneys can also be a source of pain. The kidneys are situated on either side of the body, directly underneath the diaphragm, and near the lower back, which is why pain can radiate to the lower back, flank, or even down into the legs. If the kidneys develop cysts due to polycystic kidney disease, this can understandably result in leg and lower back pain as well. *Urinary Urgency The kidneys produce urine in order to filter waste out of the body. This means, oftentimes, when the kidneys are jeopardized, urinary urgency may occur frequently in the middle of the night, and you may notice that you have to urinate more often, with increased pressure, and in larger quantities. The pressure may be so strong on your bladder that you feel you can’t squeeze all of the urine out when you go to the bathroom. If the urine contains blood, you should see a doctor immediately. A change in the color of urine can signify problem too ,For instance, frequency of urination (greater amounts day and night) can change along with urine color, or appearance (urine may be foamy or bubbly) and ease (you can develop difficulty urinating) *Fatigue Those with kidney issues will often notice an unexplained decrease in energy. This can be a clue of a problem with kidney function. At the point of kidney failure, a kidney transplant or dialysis (filtering of blood) may be necessary for life.Healthy kidneys produce adequate amounts of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that increases the production of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Without adequate EPO, your body and brain will fatigue often (as they are receiving less oxygen) and you’ll require more sleep than usual. *Swelling As kidneys fail, they slow the process of fluid elimination from the body. Therefore, this excess fluid pools in your extremities, resulting in swollen legs, hands, ankles, and feet—so much so that you often can’t get shoes or rings on. Swelling from impaired kidney function occurs in the face, hands, feet, legs, and ankles when the kidneys are unable to eliminate excess fluid from the body. Edema that results in the legs and sometimes the entire body due to kidney disease is called “nephrotic syndrome” by doctors. *Irritated Skin Skin irritation, such as acne breakouts and itchy rashes, occur due to the excess waste floating around in your body. All urine contains the byproducts of metabolism, including (obviously) water, salts, and toxins, that if left in the body end up in the bloodstream. They can build up to dangerous levels because kidneys in failure, are unable to flush waste out of the body via urine as effectively, which may cause signs of excess toxicity on the skin which shows as form of acne, rashes, dry skin, irritated red skin, hives, and severely itchy skin. * Nausea Result due to increase of wastes that can’t be eliminated via urination, hence general feeling of nausea, a lack of appetite and weight loss. vomiting can occur in severe cases & will make it difficult to keep food and nourishment down. Any buildup of waste can lead to bad breath, appetite loss (everything tastes bad), and a metallic ever present taste in the mouth (also impacting taste). *To be continued� *Stc30 has shown a positive effect in helping those with Acute & Chronic kidney challenges* Contact:::08039287598 OR 08169472563 |
