Chronic kidney disease imperceptibly changes our body. It is a silent, lurking danger.
Swelling of the eyes or lower extremities
Almost every person of a certain age has swollen ankles , or, technically speaking, swelling.
“However, if swelling can also be seen in the morning when you look in the mirror (swelling of the eyelids), and both lower legs can be affected, the kidneys may also be to blame,” family doctor Tatyana Zakharova says specifically for MedicForum.
Then a medical examination is urgently required.
Foamy urine
Foamy urine can also indicate kidney disease. Affected kidneys can no longer retain protein. The protein is excreted from the affected renal corpuscles in the urine and does not return to the blood.
“Urine foams when urinating. There is not enough protein in the blood. So the kidneys need to be checked.”

High blood pressure
The kidneys are the main organs of blood pressure regulation. They monitor the release of blood pressure-controlling hormones through various probes or measuring systems located in the renal corpuscles.
However, if the renal corpuscles are diseased, this mechanism no longer works. As a result, blood pressure constantly rises. Usually not only during the day, for example when stressed, but also at night. That's why it's always important to check your kidneys if you have high blood pressure.
