What is Kidney Disease?

Kidney disease happens when the kidneys stop working properly this can be due to high blood pressures diabetis infections or even genetics problems. Our kidneys filter the blood and remove extras fluids but when they are damaged wasted builds up in the body. Some common symptoms of kidney disease include:

Swelling in the legs and face
Feeling very tired all the time
Less urine or difficulty in urinating
Pain in the lower back
High blood pressure

If kidney diseases is not treated it can leads to kidney failure in that case a person may need dialysis or a kidney transplanted to survive.

Have you or someone you know ever experienced kidney-related issues?

I have not experienced kidney disease myself but I know someone who did. One of my close relatives had kidney problems due to high blood pressure. At first he ignored his symptoms thinking it was just normal tiredness. But with time his legs started swelling and he felt weak all the time. When he visitid the doctors he found out thats his kidneys were not working properly.

The doctor advised him to follow a strict diet avoid salty foods and drink more water. He also had to take medicine to control his blood pressure. Thankfully with proper care his condition improved but he still needs regular check-ups. This experienced taught me how importants it is to taken care of our kidneys before its too late.
