When kidney damage begins, some of the first signs appear on our hands and feet. If you also notice these signs, you should get your kidneys tested immediately.

Kidney Damage Signs: Kidneys act as filters for our body. When there is a problem in them, dirt and water start accumulating in the body, the effect of which is first seen on our hands and feet. If you notice even one of these signs, do not ignore it even by mistake. Kidneys also maintain the balance of water, salt and minerals (like potassium and calcium) in the body. Apart from this, kidneys also produce hormones that control blood pressure and help in blood formation in the body.

These symptoms are seen when the kidneys are damaged

1. Swelling in the hands, feet, and ankles: The most common sign of kidney damage is swelling in the feet and ankles. If you press a swollen area with your finger and a depression forms, it indicates water retention.
2. Muscle strain and cramps: Kidney failure disrupts the balance of electrolytes (such as calcium and phosphorus). This can cause sudden, severe cramps and pain in the leg muscles.
3. Itchy and dry skin: When the kidneys are unable to remove toxins from the blood, these impurities begin to accumulate under the skin. This can cause intense itching, rashes, and dryness in the hands and hands.
4. Numbness or tingling in the hands: Kidney damage also negatively impacts the nerves. This condition, called peripheral neuropathy, can cause a tingling or numbness in the hands and feet.
5. Leg pain and weakness: Kidney failure causes toxins to accumulate in the body, which can damage the muscles and bones in the legs. This can lead to leg pain and weakness.

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a doctor immediately and have your kidneys tested. Kidney disease is treatable if detected early.
