Early Signs of Kidney Disease — Why Laboratory Testing Matters
Kidney diseases often develop silently until they become advanced. Recognizing early warning signs can make a life-saving difference.
Common indicators include:
Swelling around the eyes, face, or ankles
Unusual changes in urine (foamy, dark, or blood-stained)
Persistent fatigue or loss of appetite
Lower back or flank pain
Reduced or excessive urination
These symptoms may indicate impaired kidney function.
🧪 Laboratory investigations such as urinalysis, serum creatinine, urea, and electrolyte tests are essential for early detection, monitoring, and management.
Protect your kidneys through routine screening — prevention is always better than treatment.
