What are signs of kidney problems?

For diabetics, kidney issues can creep up silently as diabetic nephropathy. Watch out for swollen feet, metallic taste, and a sudden drop in your insulin needs. It's crucial to get your HbA1c and urine microalbumin checked twice a year to catch any early signs.

With PCOS, we already worry about so many hormonal changes, so kidney fears can be stressful. Signs like water retention in ankles and feeling cold constantly might need looking into. I always prefer visiting my doctor first rather than assuming anything based on Google search results.

Hey, I had severe lower back pain and puffy eyes recently and got so scared of kidney issues. My doctor told me that dehydration and minor urinary tract infections also cause similar symptoms. Just drink plenty of water and do a basic urine routine test to be safe.

I ignored mild protein in my urine years ago, which later caused severe complications and high BP. If you notice persistent nausea, fatigue, or frothy urine, please don't take it lightly. See a proper nephrologist immediately before the condition worsens.
