Kidney disease can quietly harm your health, but early detection can help prevent further damage. Watch for signs like changes in urination (more at night or less overall), foamy urine, fatigue, swelling in the legs or abdomen, and persistent back pain. Unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, difficulty sleeping, a metallic taste in the mouth, muscle cramps, and itchy skin may also signal kidney issues,
To protect your kidneys, stay hydrated, reduce processed food and salt, manage conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, and avoid overusing medications. If you notice any warning signs, see a doctor promptly for tests to protect your kidney health.
