Are You Ignoring These Top 10 Signs of Kidney Disease?

Are you ignoring the top 10 signs of kidney disease? Over 37 million Americans have kidney disease. Many of them don't even know it because early kidney disease is usually silent. Unfortunately, by the time patients are referred to me to take care of their kidney disease, it's often too far gone and it's already time for them to start dialysis or to get a kidney transplant.

    Thank you Dr Frita, 18 months I was diagnosed with kidney disease and they were working at 36% and also very high blood pressure. Since then I gave up at least 90% 0f sugars and my kidneys were beginning to repair and from 36% then went to 49% then 56% and now 67% not bad for a 69 year old I guess. Anyone that is is in my situation please rid of sugars. I enjoy following Dr Frita as I get good energy from her because all the things she says are true and she is very caring for us.

    I fell out at work and my symptoms were extreme sweating and later vomiting. I went to er and I had very elevated creatinine. After a series of tests it was discovered I had a renal mass of 3.2 centimeters. I am having part of my kidney removed Monday. I’m told my kidneys were at 30%. I’m fortunate that this problem was discovered early. I did have the foamy urine. I have high bp but am not diabetic. Hope this may help someone else.

    Thank you for this timely informational video Dr. Frita. From your previous vids on kidney disease and high blood pressure, I've been more vigilant monitoring my body. As such, left kidney flutters, same one presented kidney stone, face and eyes swollen (and I have excluded the emotional and mental tears shed). Was overweight for several months beyond what's normal for height, BWI for my specific ethnicity. Water retention present, as of late in both legs--moreso on the left with no injury, dull ache with left kidney. Numbness occurs occasionally and I am constantly exhausted even when I have gotten the seven or eight hours of sleep. BP has also been on the uptick. I know that there's something going on! 😨 Thank you for useful information!

    Hi Traci, hope you are doing well. Have you heard from your doctor the cause of the kidney fluttering? About 4 days ago I started to notice the same fluttering with no pain in my left kidney. I do not currently have any other symptoms but this fluttering doesn’t feel right. Thanks and best of health you 🙏

I will read your book, but as a fitness expert I will say that we are supposed to be advancing as a species yet the overall health of American citizens is not improving. Waistlines continue to expand. Clothing manufacturers have been developing clothing that can expand due to demand. Heart disease is an unbridled assassin, and the courts acknowledge obesity as a handicap yet judges aren't going to disable 40% of all Americans. You are truly beautiful, SP

    Some doctors give you no information on what you could be doing and what you need to add or remove from your diet. My doctor just tells me. There's a very slight decline in kidney function. Which scared the hell out of me. I'm asking him what I need to do, and he just simply says to drink more water. I drink quite a bit of water, so something else is going on. I think a lot of this stuff is environmental. These issues are popping up that generations ago they didn't suffer from.
