7 signs your kidneys are crying for help (even before you get tested)

If kidney function worsens, fluid can build up in your lungs, causing shortness of breath. Fluid around the heart can cause chest pain or pressure. These are serious signs that need immediate medical attention.

Remember, any one, or two of these standalone symptoms is not indicative of a kidney condition. However, if you are facing most of these symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meanwhile, keep your kidneys healthy through a healthy diet, exercise, and by drinking enough water.
