Day 5: Early Detection - A Tale of Timely Awareness
Hey everyone, today I want to share a poignant real-life story that echoes the urgency of early detection when it comes to kidney health. This isn't just a story; it's a stark reminder of why awareness is crucial.
A dear friend recently went through a heartbreaking loss - a young brother, just 18 years old. He was unwell for a year, and the family was informed it was kidney failure. The tragedy deepened as the doctors expressed concern that he wouldn't survive long, eventually confining him to a wheelchair.
Imagine if they had known sooner. If the signs were recognized, if awareness about early detection was prevalent. Maybe something could have been done to change the course.
This painful reality isn't isolated. It's happening around us. That's why today, I want to emphasize the significance of early detection. It can save lives.
Here are some early signs and symptoms to be aware of when it comes to kidney issues:
Fatigue,Itching,swelling in your hands, legs, or feet,
shortness of breath, abnormal urine test,
Pain in the small of your back, decreased appetite,
puffiness around your eyes, high blood pressure etc.
Changes in Urination: Pay attention to any sudden changes in frequency, color, or amount of urine passed.
Fatigue and Weakness: Persistent fatigue and a general feeling of weakness might indicate kidney problems.
Swelling: Swelling in the ankles, feet, hands, or face could be a sign of kidney trouble.
Back Pain: Kidney-related back pain is usually around the sides, middle to lower back area.
The point here is simple: awareness and recognizing early signs can be lifesaving. It's not just about health; it's about saving lives and preventing tragedies like the one my friend faced.
