Kidneys, the bean-shaped organs, are about the size of your fist. They are positioned towards your back, under your ribcage. Most people have two functioning kidneys, but if only one of them is functioning well, you can still lead a healthy life. A kidney's functions are multifaceted. Helping your body clear toxins is one of its most crucial tasks. Your kidneys filter your blood, excreting waste materials as urine(pee).

 

Whenever your kidneys aren't functioning properly, it indicates kidney damage and waste products accumulate in your body. A few kidney damage symptoms include:-

Decreased urine production

Swollen feet, ankles, and legs due to fluid retention

Difficulty in respiration

Fatigue

Confusion

Nausea

Weakness

Abnormal heartbeat
