The kidneys perform essential functions, including filtering waste and excess fluid, regulating electrolytes and supporting blood pressure and red blood cell production. When kidney function is impaired, several symptoms may develop.

Possible warning signs include changes in urination, persistent swelling of the feet or face, fatigue, pain around the back or sides, shortness of breath, nausea, difficulty concentrating, and persistently dry or itchy skin.

However, these symptoms do not automatically mean a person has kidney disease, as they can result from many other conditions. Kidney problems may also develop without obvious symptoms, particularly in their early stages.

Anyone experiencing severe, persistent or unexplained symptoms should consult a qualified healthcare professional, who may recommend blood and urine tests to assess kidney function. Recognising these potential warning signs can help people understand when persistent or unexplained symptoms may require medical evaluation.
