The kidneys are a filtering station in our body, which cleanses the blood daily and excretes toxins. But when these vital organs cease to cope with their functions, our body gives signals - often inconspicuous and not associated with kidney diseases. Experts named 12 main symptoms that may indicate kidney problems.

Excessive foaming may indicate an increased protein or toxic content, which indicates a violation of the filtration function.

Kidney pathologies are often made to know the pain in the lumbar area, especially on the one hand.
6. Headache, dizziness
They can be associated with anemia that develops with impaired renal function.
