Kidney failure, or renal failure, occurs when the kidneys can no longer filter waste from the blood efficiently. Early detection of symptoms can help prevent severe complications. Be mindful of these warning signs to seek timely medical attention.

One of the earliest signs of kidney failure is a noticeable reduction in urine output. In some cases, urine may become foamy or contain blood.

Kidneys regulate fluid balance. When they fail, fluid can accumulate in the legs, ankles, and feet, causing visible swelling.

As the kidneys fail, they struggle to filter toxins, leading to anaemia, which causes chronic fatigue and general weakness.

Fluid buildup can occur in the lungs when the kidneys are not functioning properly, leading to difficulty breathing, especially during physical activity.

Accumulation of toxins in the bloodstream due to kidney failure can lead to nausea, vomiting, and a general loss of appetite.

Kidneys play a role in controlling blood pressure. Kidney failure often leads to uncontrolled or elevated blood pressure, which can further damage kidney function.
