Our kidneys are responsible for filtering wastes from the body. When the kidneys are damaged due to physical injury or conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, they cannot filter the toxins from the body, leading to toxin build-up. The signs of kidney damage are so subtle that it often goes unnoticed in the initial years. For the same reason, it is also called a ‘Silent K!ller’. Here are some common signs of a toxic kidney and we will discuss when seeking medical advice could be appropriate.
1. Urine with blood in it
Urine that is red or pink could have blood in it.
It could be a sign of kidney toxicity or of other illnesses such infections, tumours, or cancers of the bladder.
