Symptoms of complete kidney failure named

Kidney damage is a deadly pathology if not treated in time.

When the kidneys stop filtering toxins, the body overloads itself with them, which can lead to life-threatening renal failure, MedicForum reported.

There can be many causes of kidney damage. Some of the most common are:

• The effects of some chronic or acute illnesses
• Severe dehydration
• Inadequate blood flow to the kidneys
• Direct exposure to toxic elements

So what happens the moment the kidneys become overwhelmed? We may observe the following symptoms:

• Sudden decrease in the amount of urine
• Unexplained swelling in the legs, ankles and feet due to fluid retention
• Difficulty breathing
• Extreme fatigue, loss of energy
• Chest pains or pressure
• Nausea
• Confusion
• Cramps
• Change of urine color
• Foamy urine with a pungent, unpleasant odor
• For all such symptoms, seek medical attention without delay.
