Kidney disease often develops silently and may not show symptoms until it becomes serious. However, your body gives early warning signs if you pay attention.
Common Early Symptoms:
- Fatigue and weakness
- Swelling in feet, ankles, or face
- Changes in urination (frequency, color, or foam)
- Difficulty sleeping
- Muscle cramps
- Dry and itchy skin
If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a kidney specialist immediately. Early diagnosis can prevent permanent damage and improve recovery chances.
Dr. Hasnian recommends annual kidney checkups for patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or family history of kidney disease.
