2. Foamy or Bubbly Urine
Looks like soap suds — doesn’t go away quickly
Sign of protein in the urine (proteinuria) — a key marker of kidney damage
Healthy kidneys keep protein in the blood; leaky ones let it escape
🧪 Dipstick tests at routine checkups can detect this early.
3. Swelling in Feet, Ankles, or Face
Fluid builds up because kidneys can’t remove excess water and sodium
Pitting edema: Press your finger into the skin — if an indent remains, it’s serious
✅ Common in legs and around eyes upon waking.
4. Fatigue and Weakness
Kidneys produce erythropoietin (EPO) — a hormone that tells your body to make red blood cells
Damaged kidneys make less EPO → fewer oxygen-carrying cells → constant tiredness
🧠 This fatigue isn’t relieved by sleep — it lingers.
5. Shortness of Breath
Two possible causes:
Anemia from low EPO
Fluid buildup in the lungs due to poor fluid regulation
🚨 If sudden or severe, seek immediate help.
6. Metallic Taste in Mouth or Ammonia Breath
Waste products build up in the bloodstream (uremia)
Causes bad breath that smells like ammonia
Food tastes different — meat may taste metallic or foul
🍽️ Some say their favorite meals suddenly repel them.
7. Nausea, Vomiting, or Loss of Appetite
Toxins accumulate in the gut when kidneys fail to filter them
Feels like persistent stomach flu with no cause
⚠️ Often dismissed as stress or indigestion.
