Always tired? Trouble sleeping? Dry, itchy skin? Most people wouldn’t connect these to kidney health, and that’s exactly the problem.

“Unfortunately, when symptoms do begin to become noticeable, the kidney function has already dropped to kidney failure territory,” said Matthew Van Norman, DO, a nephrologist at UT Physicians.

Fortunately, simple blood and urine tests can help catch concerns earlier, when there’s still time to slow progression. Daily habits, like sleep and nutrition, also play a meaningful role in kidney health.
