Early Warning Signs of Kidney Disease Most People Ignore

Most people don't find out they have kidney disease until it's already advanced — because the early signs are easy to miss or dismiss. In this video, I break down 8 early warning signs of kidney disease that you should never ignore, explained in plain simple language. I am a registered nurse and my advocacy is to make sure that health education doesn't stop at the clinic door. Because when you understand your health, you make better decisions. And better decisions save lives. We cover unusual fatigue, changes in urination, foamy urine, swollen legs and ankles, puffy eyes in the morning, persistent itchy skin, shortness of breath, and a metallic taste or nausea — and what each one actually means for your kidney health. If you experience two or more of these signs, talk to your doctor and ask for a Serum Creatinine, eGFR, and urine protein test. Early detection can slow or even stop kidney disease from progressing. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly health education from a registered nurse. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
