Beyond changes in urine, symptoms like fatigue, itchy skin, difficulty sleeping, and swollen eyes and ankles can signal declining kidney function.

Soda, energy drinks, and sports drinks contain ingredients like phosphoric acid, high sugar content, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and oxalates, which can silently strain the kidneys.

Garlic, cabbage, and egg whites are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, easing the burden on kidneys and aiding their natural healing process.

Many sources suggest that eating bland and consuming excessive water may also pose risks to kidney function. Why is this the case? (Trang, 36, Hanoi)

Excessive consumption of white sugar, white alcohol, and pork fat can severely damage kidneys, eventually leading to kidney failure.

Drinking green tea, lemon water, and turmeric provides hydration and antioxidants that reduce inflammation and help the liver and kidneys eliminate toxins.

Kidney-related itching can feel like crawling ants or a persistent prickling sensation, affecting wide areas rather than isolated spots and rarely relieved by scratching or moisturizing.
