6. Shortness of breath

Frequently feeling short of breath, especially when moving or carrying heavy objects, is because of kidney failure. When the kidneys are not strong enough to perform their detoxification function, the body will feel uncomfortable and always feel short of breath.

7. Bad breath

This is one of the common signs of kidney failure. Bad breath is caused by too many toxins and infections in the body because the kidneys have severely impaired function and cannot eliminate toxins.

8. Itchy skin

Healthy kidneys will help to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood, helping red blood cells to be healthy and the skin to be rosy and smooth. Unhealthy kidneys, on the contrary, can lead to itchy skin, dry skin, and peeling skin.
