Pale and lifeless complexion
Pale skin combined with shortness of breath or dizziness can indicate low hemoglobin levels – often associated with kidney problems. This is a signal that the body needs help.
Unusual edema
Swelling on the lower legs, eyelids, hands for no apparent reason can indicate that the kidneys do not properly expel water and salt. Such edema is typical in kidney disorders.
Low back pain
Dull or localized pain under the ribs, on one or both sides, may be associated with urinary tract infections or kidney stones. In case of prolonged discomfort, it is imperative to consult a doctor.
Loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss
Decreased cravings for food, skipping meals and involuntary weight loss can be associated with the accumulation of waste substances in the body due to improperly functioning kidneys.
