News India Live, Digital Desk: Kidney Failure Signs: Morning time should be the most refreshing part of the day, but with many of us the opposite happens. As soon as you get up from bed, it feels as if there is no life in your body. We think, “Maybe you didn’t sleep properly at night,” and after drinking tea or coffee, we get to work. But have you ever thought that your body is trying to tell you something? Especially our kidneys. This is the silent warrior of our body which keeps cleaning the dirt day and night without making any noise. But when it starts getting tired or starts deteriorating, the first signals are seen in the morning only. Let us understand in simple language those signs which should not be ignored even by mistake.1. Swollen Eyes and Face (Puffy Eyes) Often, after waking up in the morning, people say, “Why is my face feeling so heavy today?” If bags are forming under your eyes or your whole face looks swollen like a balloon, then be careful. Real reason: When the kidney does not function properly, instead of retaining the ‘protein’ in the body, it expels it through urine (Protein Leakage). This swelling on the face occurs due to lack of protein and accumulation of water in the body.2. Color and foam of urine (Foamy Urine) Have you ever noticed the urine in the morning? If there is a lot of foam in the urine (which does not go away even after flushing), it means that protein is getting into it. If there is a frequent urge to urinate or the color of the urine is very dark/dirty, then it is an alarm bell. 3. Strange tiredness and weakness: A person should feel fresh after sleeping all night. But in kidney disease, the toxins (dirt) of the body remain in the blood. This creates a condition of “tired blood”. You will feel tired, irritable and lack of focus as soon as you wake up.4. Swollen Ankles: Do your shoes or slippers feel tight after waking up in the morning? When the kidneys are unable to remove excess sodium (salt), it starts accumulating in the lower part of the body. Swelling in the feet or ankles in the morning can be a step towards kidney failure.5. Dry and Itchy Skin: These symptoms may seem a bit strange. When the level of urea and phosphorus in the blood increases, the skin feels very dry in the morning and there is severe itching. Even applying lotion does not provide relief because the problem is not on the skin but inside. What is the doctor’s advice? Don’t panic after reading these signs, just be aware. If you are feeling any of these two symptoms continuously, then get KFT (Kidney Function Test) done immediately. This is a simple blood test. If kidney disease is caught early, treatment is very easy. Delaying it only makes it fatal. Stay healthy, and learn to understand your body language
