Early kidney disease usually doesn’t have any symptoms. Testing is the only way to know how well your kidneys are working

To check for kidney disease, health care providers use:

1. A blood test that checks how well your kidneys are filtering your blood, called GFR. GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate.

2. A urine test to check for albumin. Albumin is a protein that can pass into the urine when the kidneys are damaged.

🔷If your GFR is below 60 or you have albumin in the urine, it could be early kidney disease.

🔹If you have kidney disease, your health care provider will use the same tests to monitor your kidney disease and make sure your treatment plan is working.

🔹If you have diabetes, get checked every year. If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney failure, talk with your health care provider about how often you should get tested.

Too much sodium can cause extra fluid to build up in your body — raising blood pressure and putting added strain on your heart and kidneys.

If you have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), it’s important to watch your salt intake.
✅ Read food labels
✅ Choose fresh foods over processed ones
✅ Use herbs and spices for flavor
✅ Be cautious with salt substitutes

Small changes can make a big difference in protecting your heart and kidneys. 💙

Gout might start as occasional joint pain, but left untreated, it can evolve into crippling, recurring attacks marked by burning pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness.

If your kidneys aren’t functioning well, the risk is even greater. Under-functioning kidneys can’t eliminate uric acid efficiently leading to toxic buildup, triggering both gout and further kidney damage.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲. However, chronic kidney disease (CKD) may still cause damage even though you feel fine.

Kidney failure symptoms vary between people. If your kidneys aren’t working properly, you may notice one or more of the following signs:

▪️Extreme tiredness (fatigue)
▪️Nausea and vomiting
▪️Confusion or trouble concentrating
▪️Swelling (edema), particularly around your hands, ankles or face
▪️Blood in your urine
▪️Uncontrollable high blood pressure
▪️Poor appetite, or food may taste metallic

💡 Early stages of CKD may not have symptoms. That’s why regular checkups matter — especially if you’re at risk.

If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney problems — don’t wait. Get your kidneys checked regularly.
