The kidneys are two small organs, about the size of a fist, that work silently around the clock, filtering more than 190 liters of blood a day, balancing fluids, and maintaining the proper functioning of vital body functions. However, when kidney health begins to deteriorate, the warning signs are often so subtle that most people overlook them.

Kidney disease doesn’t scream, it whispers.
And if you ignore those whispers, the damage could already be advanced by the time you notice it.

If you’re over 40, have high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney problems, these 23 unusual symptoms of kidney disease deserve your attention. Detecting them early could help protect your kidneys for years to come.

1. Foamy or Bubbly Urine
Persistent bubbles in the toilet bowl may indicate protein loss, a common sign of early kidney damage.

2. Swelling in the ankles or feet
When the kidneys have difficulty removing excess salt and fluid, swelling may occur, especially in the lower legs.

3. Constant fatigue:
The kidneys produce erythropoietin, a hormone that helps produce red blood cells. Low levels of erythropoietin can lead to anemia, leaving you exhausted.

4. Frequent urination at night
Waking up and urinating more than once during the night can be a sign of reduced kidney function.
