SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY DISEASES.

                   SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY DISEASES. 

Kidney disease is a common and harmful disease. Approx 10% of adult, in the world, are suffered from this disease. Some people needing kidney dialysis or transplantation to treat kidneyfailure. While many people cannot afford treatment at all, resulting in millions of people die prematurely of complications related to Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD).

Sign and symptoms :

1. Fatigue ( being tired all of the time ) :A healthy kidney makes erythropoietin ( EPO ) hormone that helps to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. When the kidney failed, they make less erythropoietin. So, the fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen. As a result, your muscles and brain tire.

2. Dry and itchy skin :A healthy kidney has many functions in your body, including :Remove wastes and extra fluid from the body.Helps to make red blood cells.Keep your bones strong.Maintain the right amount of minerals in your blood.When your kidneys are no longer able to keep the right balance of minerals and nutrients in your blood, then your skin becomes dry and itchy.

3. Shortness of breath :Being short of breath can affect your kidney by :Extra fluid in your body can build up in your lungs.Anemia can leave your body oxygen-starved and short of breath.

4. Trouble to think ( memory problem ) :When your kidney fails, your brain is not getting enough oxygen. This can lead to memory problems or trouble with concentration.

5. Blood secrets from urine :When a healthy kidney creates urine then it keeps the blood cells in the body and filtering wastes from the blood. But when the kidney damage, then these blood cells can start to “leak” out with Kidney 

6. A Bad Taste In Your Mouth: If your kidneys are not removing toxins, they accumulate in your body (uremia). This can cause a metallic taste in your mouth, and produce bad breath. You might also find that food doesn’t taste the same, particularly meats. (This is interesting to note in light of the research we’re going to look at later, which connects a high-meat diet with kidney stress.) This dulls your appetite, which in turn can cause weight loss.

7. Itchy Rashes: When uric acid and waste products accumulate, the resulting buildup can cause itchy patches on your skin. Rashes are a vague symptom that can be caused by a number of factors; but those that result from kidney malfunction feel “deeper.” Topical treatment doesn’t help very much, because the itch feels like it extends below the skin’s surface. Uric acid-induced rashes can also manifest as little red bumps, not unlike acne.

8. Anemia: As I mentioned earlier, your kidneys produce red blood cell-stimulating EPO. Without enough EPO, you can’t make enough red blood cells, which can result in anemia. Anemia can manifest in a myriad of symptoms, including feeling winded and out of breath, feeling chilly even if your surroundings are warm, and dizziness.
 The reason for all of these symptoms is a systemic lack of oxygen (delivered by red blood cells).It’s always a good idea to heed early warning signs and treat your kidneys to a cleanse before damage occurs, and it’s particularly important to offset the effects of aging on your renal system.

Summary:

Always take good care of your kidney, it is among the most very important part of the internal body system.
