3. Rash on the skin

The accumulation of waste products in our body can be linked to kidney failure – the skin gets a lot of rashes and itching. All the waste gets accumulated in the blood and makes the skin look unhealthy, dry and irritated.

4. Fatigue
When the kidneys stop producing EPO (erythropoietin), a hormone that produces more red blood cells, fatigue will occur and also have an impact on the brain and muscles.

5. Shortness of breath
If the body does not have enough oxygen, it is due to the low number of red blood cells that supply oxygen everywhere.

6. Metal taste in the mouth/ metallic taste
The waste accumulated in the blood will alter your food taste and even cause bad breath all the time.

7. Pain
Pain in the upper back is another symptom of this condition – which is the same area more or less where the kidneys are placed.

8. Poor concentration and dizziness
Poor oxygen flow to the brain is a clear sign of severe anemia, but also of kidney failure. It will disorient focus and concentration, make you light-headed and dizzy, and cause memory problems.
