10 Of The Most Common Warning Signs That You Have Kidney Failure
#5 – Swelling Of Ankles, Feet, And Hands
© www.physiyo.comWhen kidneys are no longer performing their natural function, the extra fluid is stored in the body. This consequently leads to high sodium concentrations in the body, which in return causes the swelling of ankles, feet, and hands.
Again, it is important to remind you that swelling of the lower parts of the body can be as a result of other body diseases such as heart, liver, and leg vein problems.
Warning: sometimes it is enough to remove the extra fluids and take some medication to fix the problem. If the condition remains the same and you have noticed no improvement, then, a special and separate treatment need to be taken.
How do these warning signs indicate kidney disease rather than type 2 diabetes??
This is useful info, I’ve had lower back pain for weeks which had made me feel slightly nauseous; I’m a driver and been without a regular mode of transport for a couple of years so getting home to the toilet on time has been arduous. I’ve put on weight round my tummy so maybe its that or infection?
I’m not at work so also feel like I’m trespassing on my own territory.
