Gout might start as occasional joint pain, but left untreated, it can evolve into crippling, recurring attacks marked by burning pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness.

If your kidneys aren’t functioning well, the risk is even greater. Under-functioning kidneys can’t eliminate uric acid efficiently leading to toxic buildup, triggering both gout and further kidney damage.

Kidney failure symptoms vary between people. If your kidneys aren’t working properly, you may notice one or more of the following signs:

▪️Extreme tiredness (fatigue)
▪️Nausea and vomiting
▪️Confusion or trouble concentrating
▪️Swelling (edema), particularly around your hands, ankles or face
▪️Blood in your urine
▪️Uncontrollable high blood pressure
▪️Poor appetite, or food may taste metallic

💡 Early stages of CKD may not have symptoms. That’s why regular checkups matter — especially if you’re at risk.

If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney problems — don’t wait. Get your kidneys checked regularly.

💓 High Blood Pressure & Your Kidneys: What You Need to Know

Your kidneys rely on healthy blood vessels to filter waste and fluids from your body. But when blood pressure stays high over time, it puts strain on those vessels - especially around the kidneys. This can cause them to harden, narrow, or weaken, limiting their ability to function properly.

📉 Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or even kidney failure - but it doesn’t have to.

✅ The good news? You can take steps to protect your kidneys and lower your blood pressure:
• Eat a low-sodium, kidney-friendly diet
• Stay active
• Limit alcohol and quit smoking
• Take medications as prescribed
• Get regular check-ups

You can manage CKD and live well. Start by controlling your blood pressure today.

👩‍⚕️ Talk to your doctor or reach out to Kidney Care Bermuda to learn how we can help.

If you or a loved one undertakes peritoneal dialysis (PD) at home, it is vital to take great care and caution when commencing PD treatment. Our colleague Polly explains infection control techniques and demonstrates how to connect dialysate fluid to the PD catheter.

PD is a common treatment for patients with renal failure and doing it at home can increase a patient's flexibility and independence. We will support you every step of the way.
