One common tipoff of kidney trouble is fatigue.
Kidneys filter waste from your blood and ship it\u00a0out in your pee.\u00a0
When your kidneys don\u2019t work right, toxins can\u00a0build up.\u00a0
A secondary function of your kidneys is to help\u00a0make red blood cells that carry oxygen all around\u00a0your body.\u00a0
A decrease in the red blood cells (anemia) can\u00a0cause tiredness, decreased stamina etc.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kidneys remove wastes from the bloodstream.\u00a0
When the kidneys fail, the build-up of wastes in\u00a0your blood can cause severe itching<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As your kidney function declines, wastes will build\u00a0up in your blood.\u00a0
This is called uremia. Uremia can lead to a metal-like taste in your mouth and bad breath.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Vector](\"https:\/\/www.healthvectors.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/loss-appetite.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Vomiting can occur when metabolic waste\u00a0builds up in your blood, but people may\u00a0feel nauseated at even the thought of\u00a0eating.\u00a0 This may lead to a loss of appetite, and\u00a0weight\u00a0loss.\u200b<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Being short of breath can be related to the kidneys\u00a0in two ways.\u00a0
First, extra fluid in the body can build up in the\u00a0lungs.\u00a0
And second, anemia (a shortage of oxygen-carrying\u00a0red blood cells) can leave your body oxygen-starved and short of breath.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Health](\"https:\/\/www.healthvectors.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/urine-sample.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Faulty kidney function also may let blood leak into\u00a0your bladder.\u00a0
Blood in your urine also can be caused by kidney\u00a0stones, tumors, or an infection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Failing kidneys don't remove extra fluid, which\u00a0builds up in your body causing swelling in the legs,\u00a0ankles, feet, and\/or hands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.healthvectors.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/anaemia-complications.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Anemia related to kidney failure means that your\u00a0brain is not getting enough oxygen.\u00a0
This can lead to memory problems or trouble with\u00a0concentration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Bare](\"https:\/\/www.healthvectors.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/weight-check.jpg\")
