Medical Video: Symptoms of Kidney Disease
There are many types of kidney disease, such as kidney failure, kidney infection, and kidney stones. Although each of these diseases has its own characteristics, at least there are at least some of the same symptoms of kidney disease. Now, what signs should be considered?
Various things that show early symptoms of kidney disease
Kidney disease occurs when the kidneys cannot function properly. In fact, the role of the kidneys in the body is very important. Starting from cleansing the blood of waste substances, helping to regulate blood pressure, producing vitamin D, to maintain the balance of salt and minerals in the blood.
So, do not underestimate if the following initial symptoms of kidney disease appear:
1. Low back pain
The kidneys are located in the back of the abdomen, precisely at the side of the spine below your back. That is why the most obvious symptom of kidney disease is back pain.
This symptom arises because the kidney swells so that it compresses the back, which eventually causes pain.
2. The habit of urinating changes
The main task of the kidneys is to produce urine. So, when problems arise in the kidneys, it will certainly affect your urination habits. Whether it's the frequency of urinating becomes more frequent, so it feels painful when urinating, and the color of urine that changes tends to be cloudy and not clear as usual.
3. Blood in urine
Do not underestimate if there is blood in your urine.
Kidney damage will trigger the release of protein through urine along with red blood cells. As a result, you will see the end result in blood in the urine. In some cases, urine can also contain pus due to a problem with your bladder.
4. Easy to get tired and difficult to concentrate
Easy fatigue and difficulty concentrating are the first two symptoms of kidney disease that are often underestimated, because they are often misunderstood as the effects of stress or ordinary tiredness.
Even though in fact, decreased kidney function can cause toxins and dirt to accumulate in the blood. This accumulation of toxins can later cause someone to get tired easily and have difficulty thinking clearly.
