The human body is a system which operates only if all organs function perfectly. In case when an organ in the body has problem with its function, we will have certain problems with our health.
In this article we will discuss about the symptoms and signs that the kidney gives to us when there is some sort of damage. Also, we present you few things you can do to improve its function naturally.
Just imagine what will happen when the kidneys will fail to adequately filter waste products from the blood?
Lower back pain
One of the most common sign of kidney damage and unhealthy kidneys is lower back pain. This pain, at first is manifested only on one side, but after a while it moves to both sides. If someone sleeps on only one side, then that will be side where the kidney is having more problems.
for instance, when you wake up in the morning or maybe in the middle of the night to go to urine and it may or may not come easily and your lower back hurts on one or both sides. You definitely should not ignore if this happens to you because this is an early warning sign of kidney damage.
Changes in urinary function
When these organs fail to perform the basic function, it is expected that the urinary patterns will change. The changes include:
– Urine may be foamy or bubbly
– You may have difficulty urinating or feel pressure
– Your urine may contain blood
– You may urinate more often, or in greater amounts than usual, with pale urine
– Now the opposite: You may urinate less often, or in smaller amounts than usual, with dark colored urine
– You may start getting up more in the night to urinate
So if you notice some of the changes, your kidneys are damaged, but when you notice change in color, the bigger the damage to kidneys is.

Fatigue and weakness
Erythropoietin is hormone that is produced by the kidneys. It helps to make red blood cells that carry oxygen. If the body has decreased red blood cells, it can result in anemia. Fatigue and general weakness is caused when the oxygen delivery to cells is decreased.

You should take this issue very seriously, and it is another early sign of having problems with your kidneys. Do not treat it with just topical creams, because they will not solve the actual problem.
Causes of kidney damage
Heavy metal cadmium is the major thing that causes kidney. Cadmium enters the environment primarily through the burning of oil and coal and the incineration of municipal waste. This heavy metal usually is found in phosphate fertilizers which contaminates our food supply. This one of the many reasons why you should quit smoking, because smokers directly inhale cadmium into the lungs.
