The Body's Purification Plant and Guardian of Balance: Signals from the Kidney
Do you experience painful urination, foamy or reddish urine? Or perhaps unexplained swelling and fatigue?
Urine and edema are the most honest warnings that your body's filters and electrolyte balance are collapsing.
The kidneys and urinary tract are vital organs that excrete waste and regulate body fluids, electrolytes, and acid-base balance.
Symptoms range from local issues like Dysuria and Bladder Pain to Azotemia (Uremia), Proteinuria, and Hematuria due to reduced renal function, as well as life-threatening Electrolyte Imbalances and Acidosis/Alkalosis.
These changes may indicate simple urinary tract issues but are often complications of systemic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, or heart failure.
