5 warning signals of the body remind you: Kidneys are threatened, quickly see a doctor

Body swelling

Edema due to nephritis is often manifested in the eyelids, scrotum and face, then slowly develops into progressive lower limb edema.

In severe cases, systemic edema will occur. When patients with strep infections such as influenza, sinusitis or pharyngitis are cured, a 3-week urine test can often detect the symptoms of kidney inflammation early.

Nausea and vomiting

When the kidney is not working properly, waste can enter the body's system. As a result, the body will have a natural reflex to eliminate those toxins, manifesting nausea and sometimes vomiting.

Urinary tract (urinary incontinence with little urine, thin urine)

When kidney disease occurs, the patient may have edema or oliguria, the color of the urine will be deeper, the daily urine will not reach 400 ml, and some serious patients will have hematuria. Acute kidney failure can lead to nausea, general weakness and loss of appetite. In addition, most patients have foam in their urine, and the more bubbles, the more protein they lose.

Pain in the legs and lower back

Pain in the legs or lower back may be a sign of kidney stones, but may also be due to kidney infections. If this happens, the disease may progress and be accompanied by other symptoms, such as difficulty urinating, or a burning sensation when urinating.

It is necessary to distinguish this symptom from normal muscle pain. Early detection can help prevent many problems.

Rash - itching

The accumulation of uric acid and body wastes can cause itching on the skin.

Rashes can be caused by many factors. However, a rash due to kidney problems is often deeper and feels like stretching beneath the skin surface, and topical treatments seem to be ineffective in this case.
