The kidneys filter all the blood in the body every 30 minutes to remove toxins and excess fluids. However, they must be cleaned periodically to function better. Over time, salts and toxins, as well as sand and stones, accumulate in the kidneys. Therefore, they must be eliminated to avoid kidney damage. Kidney stones are most commonly formed from calcium oxalate, which is a waste product of the body. Pain in the lower back and abdomen, nausea and difficulty urinating – these are the typical symptoms that indicate a kidney problem. Pain in upper back/sides that extend into the anterior abdominal wall and radiate into the groin area may indicate kidney problems. It is most likely a urinary tract infection that eventually spreads to the kidneys. Severe pain/cramping may indicate kidney stones. In kidney disease, erythropoietin production is inhibited. This hormone regulates the production of red blood cells, which causes anemia, fatigue, weakness, malaise and drowsiness. The body does not receive the necessary amount of oxygen, hence all the symptoms listed above. Kidney diseases can appear with a feeling of coldness, although it can be warm outside and inside the house. Due to the lack of oxygen and anemia, the production of heat and energy is reduced, causing chills. Sudden muscle spasms are characteristic of kidney problems. This happens because of the accumulation of toxins in the blood. Accumulated toxins also negatively affect the brain. The kidneys are responsible for regulating the amount of salt in the blood and tissues. Thus, disturbances in kidney function lead to increased blood pressure. The high level of blood sugar damages the kidneys, causing other organs to malfunction. That’s why doctors recommend that patients with diabetes periodically check their blood sugar levels. Excess uric acid causes swelling of the joints. In 90% of patients with gout, there is an inability of the kidneys to eliminate uric acid. Repeated infections can be a triggering factor in the appearance of kidney stones. The risk of a kidney infection causing organ damage increases the longer the problem is left untreated. Fluid that does not leave the body accumulates in the lungs. This causes tissue hypoxia and breathing difficulties. In addition to memory and concentration problems, dizziness is also possible in case of kidney problems. This happens due to lack of oxygen, which causes weakness, dizziness and convulsions. Dizziness is felt most when getting out of bed. Renal problems cause the accumulation of toxins in the blood, which is also manifested by the appearance of severe itching. Other warning signs such as dryness, redness of the skin and small rashes are also common. Metabolic toxins in the blood (uric acid and ammonia) can alter the taste of food, leading to bad breath. The metallic taste in the mouth is a characteristic phenomenon of kidney diseases, writes doctorulzilei.ro.
