In this video, I'll explain the multifaceted role of kidneys, from filtering blood and regulating blood pressure to maintaining bone health and balancing electrolytes. I emphasize the often-overlooked fact that the most common early symptom of kidney failure can be no symptom at all. This underscores the importance of regular check-ups and routine testing by your doctor, especially if you have a family history of kidney disease.

1. Swelling or Edema

This was and is excellent information
I have all of these except the swelling. I did not even swell in pregnancy. I am really worried because when my doctor runs the basic kidney panel they all come back fine but I have all these symptoms.
I’ve been having swelling my feet ankles hands, having to run to get to bathroom and go at night. Fatigue, and yes I have shortness of breath I can’t tell the difference because they say I have asthma. Plus my lower back pain . I had blood work and it comes back ok. Am very concerned about this swelling. I have a few symptoms on your list 6 out of 7. How do I find out what type of edema do I have if I have it. ?
In 2018 I was tired and sleeping a lot. Good thing it was time for my yearly physical. My dr let me know that my kidneys were not functioning right. To make a long story short, I ended up having multiple myeloma. I'm doing good. Haven't been on any meds since 2021. Another thing is look for ridges in your nails. I have to have blood drawn monthly to watch the levels of my creatinine and kappa lt chainz
Hi my name Carol Rivas and I'm not sure if do cuz my back hurts when I'm standing to long I would like to talk to you and hear from on what you think ok.
I pray for complete healing for all of you in Jesus name as my wife suffers from reaccurent kidneys stones and has a complex renal aneurysm per her vascular surgeon I rebuke all kidney disorders in the mighty name of Jesus and by the power of his blood Amen!
Amen in Jesus name 🙏🏾
AMEN
Amen
If you're not getting any assistance for help maybe you should ask the Creator of the Galactic Heavens for assistance and not assume the help Will come from His prophet Isa Jesus"son of Mary who was NOT the SON of the Creator of the Galactic Heavens but a prophet and a messenger sent to the Beni'Isreal to straighten out their excesses of transgressions...
Jesus son of Mary said; Hear yee O Isreal the Lord Thy God is ONE and Jesus son of Mary said I have not been sent but to the lost tribe of the Children of Israel...
So get it together so you're not going astray in the wrong direction...
Jesus son of Mary never said I am God worship me...
So what are you talking about?
GO TO OUR LORD SUPREME KING JESUS HE IS THE ONE WHO ALWAYS CARES
1. Edema - Swelling of hands, feet, under eyes or anywhere
2. Change in urination - Making lots of urine, urinating frequently, using bathroom during night, large prostrate, dribbling urine or even decreased urinarion
3. Skin-itching or rashes, dry skin
4. Fatigue
5. Shortness of breath
6. Lower back pain
7. Urinary travt infection
Thanks Dr very Clear explanation
Thank-you 👍
I just sent the 24/7 nurse a message telling them how can I get tested and not wait that many days.
A very Big Amen and I Received Perfect Healing for My Kidney Now In Jesus.Amen. Thank You very much for Praying for Us All.
I have stage 4 ckd in 2006 I was on the dialysis for about a year I was sick all the time I decided to stop going get all the praise to God because right now I'm not on dialysis but I do go see my kidney doctor every 3 months 🙏
Praise God your doing better and don’t have to go
😅😅😅@@Shalawamandwelcome
Hello how do you treat to overcome dialysis
Wishing you all blessings 🌹
Amiina ❤
I'm in stage 4 kidney failure my doctors don't care about me at all so hopefully I can do this on my own I have two babies who need me!
This is my Nephrologist, and she is the best. Her office staff is awesome too. They took me through all of the tests, exams, etc. I was okay in the end, but it was good to know that I was in good hands. And yes, she is this beautiful in person.
Thanks doc
May I ask, exactly what tests did she order? This way many will know if their doctor is doing what's right.
@Dr.Frita, I have stage 3 kidney disease because I donated my left kidney 17 years ago (March 27, 2007) and the older I get, I have a nephrologist, dietician and primary care PA, that keeping me off of dialysis. I was 33 when I donate my kidney to my childhood friend. I take iron supplements for the anemia and I will be 50 this September 2024. Every 3-6 months I have labs done to monitor my progress or distress. I've been healthier at stage 2 kidney disease and hope to maintain this range in the future.
That was kind of you, I hope things turn out for the better for you
My daughter on the right side her kidney level is 20 is their away to improve that number to go up
God bless you and heal you because you're a hero,a nice person like you deserve to leave
@@SarahImoloame very kind words from you but I think 🤔 you meant *live* though 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I urinate often especially during the night but I also take lots of water during the day...about 2 litres a day.
That make sense..
Thank you, Dr. Frita, you are amazing!
Just wanted to Thank You. I'm in Stage 3B. Family history of kidneydisease...constant UTI'S....Learned more from you than my Dr. regarding the symptoms.
Thank you for this information!❤ I love how you truly like to help people!
Thank you Dr for sharing such vital info.
Deep comprehensive information shared here. Thanks for the knowledge that you shared. God bless you always.
This video is too smart for me.... I will have to watch it again. Your knowledge and expertise are amazing.
Thank you Dr for this important information. I'm 73 yrs old and my last blood test showed renal issue. I was working from home and noticed a pain in my right lower back and quit my position in November 2023. In December, my primary doctor gave me a script for more blood tests and urine analysis in 90 days. In the meanwhile I am removing Black licorice, peanuts; (which I enjoyed), and removing all processed foods including milk, soup and bread. I'm back to exercising daily and I'm going to include more apples, red seeded grapes, watermelon, pineapple, lemon water, bananas, kale cauliflower onions, garlic, wild salmon, in my diet. I also start my day with 16 oz lemon water, and 8 oz lemon water before lunch and dinner. I make sure drink 1/2 my weight in ounces of water each day. I'm praying and doing everything in my power to loose the 15 lbs I'd gained last year and returning to healthy kidneys. God bless you.
Hi Dr. Frira, I had no idea that dehydration could cause kidney failure. TFS and all you do!
I actually have most of these symptoms and i just had to get a new PCP because I know there is something wrong. Thanks Dr Frita ❤ for this wise advice and video.
Same with me
I was told I have kidney stenosis after complaining of left flank pain. I have a small rash on left and right leg, I have swelling of ankles sometime. I have leg cramps unless I take my electrolyte powder and sometimes les or frequent urination depending on if I'm drinking less or more water and I go mostly at night. 1 blood test my bun creatine was high but now it's not. At least my last blood test it wasn't. I really appreciate this video because I've learned a lot in this 16 minutes. Thank doc, I may have to call you for more advice on what I should do
Did your Doctor order lab work as well.
@@Annjenkins806 Yes He did
@Annjenkins806 yes but now my creatinine is low and he just ordered a cholesterol test so I go Friday to see him again. He also sent me to a vascular doc and he ordered test for my blood pressure but not sure what test shows either
Thanks for the great information Dr Frita.
Dr Frita, thanks for your explanation.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for taking the time to share.God bless you
Number 4 is it for me. I just hope I shall find a way around the fatigue issue. Thanks for this super sound advice. So grateful for resourceful persons like you. many things for this valuable advice.
What frustrates me the most is listening to your doctor's inability to diagnose your concerns. Thank You for your video.
Your videos are packed with very important information. Thank you!
Shortness of breath , 🙏🏾thanks for sharing 💯❤️
Excellent video. Clear and concise. Thank you!
I appreciate so much you sharing symptoms for kidney disease. I am experiencing some of the symptoms. I will speak w/my doctor about testing for the disease. God bless you .
Thank you Doc, great information.
Excellent topic/informational video.
Thank you Dr Frita for this information - some of these symptoms are surprising to me, I appreciate and will store this information. I have had to take many different kinds of anti-inflammatories over the years & I believe they have been responsible for my being diagnosed with CKD on paper, I am researching & trying to learn how to stop the progression of this disease - I am 78 years young & plan to be around another 20 + years & believe it’s never to late to change your habits
Great job, Doc! Thank you so much for your advice. I love your educational videos very much. God bless you and your loved ones.
Thank you very much Doctor.😊
Yes. I need a consult ASAP!
I love how you break things down for the viewers , so they can understand, most drs ideal in medical terminology as if the Cpol should know , but you know I g when to turn that off & speak in lanes terms do that ppl can UNDERSTAND is a smart person on my book. Knowing info is great but to know when to speak differently that’s a smart doctor who knows her audience
Information was so informative, I was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease, I have 90% of the symptoms that you spoke of, now added to my symptoms now is brain fog, I can’t remember some simple things, I see my doctor every three months now am 68 yrs old, my ankles stay swollen, trying my best to drink more water, would love to have a conversation with you!
Thanks,Dr.Frita, I think I needed to hear you for a reason
Very helpful video. Thanks

Thank you Doc. ❤
I have been having a terrible headache in over 1 year, when I go to doctors they say that I am too young and look healthy to be sick. I was back and forth to the hospital but they have no idea what to do so they sent me home every time. But the other doctor check my blood pressure, it was up to 200 so they checked everything and they said after a month that I have shrinking kidneys and hypertension. After years they said that I have chronic kidney disease at stage 3. And now I get smaller pain in the back that lasted weeks. Couple months from now they will check me again
Thank you for the information Happy Holidays ☃️

This video is one of the best presentations I have ever seen in my 78 years on recognizing kidney disease. This should be shown to everyone who has developed or who is at risk for developing kidney disease. Excellent presentation. You are doing a wonderful public service!
Ty for the helpful information.
Thank you for the information. Watching from PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Great information.
Thank you doctor Frida
Did not realize UTI was one of the signs. Thanks for this educational great video.
I’m a health education student and I’m glad I found your channel because it’s such a perfect example of awesome health education. Thank you. I’ve been seeing a lot of sketchy health information on TH-cam so this is like a safe haven omg 😂glad to be here
Thanks Dr for this eye opening presentation.I
Very important ideas
Thanks for your information you has provided I am monitoring my ckd with my doctor, I don't have any of these but I do suffer from lower back pain due to a injury car accident
Thank you so much for this posting. It was excellent.
Lower back pain
I’m on a Parp inhibitor for platinum resistant ovarian cancer. I e been NED since 2017! The Parp that I am on is something I’ve responded well to because I have the BRACA mutations. I manage the CKD that it has caused me to have by drinking as much water as I can and going on drug holidays from time to time as well.
TY for the information!
PS/ I have and have suffered with frequent UTIs for decades.. but it became much worse in the last few years. But the two don’t seem to be connected. My kidneys never get affected.
Thank you doctor fritA
Great information
Good to know I see why I am itching
Glad I found this channel. So much good information.
Thank you Dr. Frida for the equality that you give our community. Due to biases in the healthcare system our community does not get all the information we need. Thanks for caring and serving.
Thank you very informative. 💡 I’m asking my primary care doctor about the signs discussed in this video.
Good information and very educative
My specialist could never find out why I was having reoccurring track infection.. Later, I was diagnosed with Stage one prostate cancer. it was an insight hearing from you the signs of track infection that my urologist never figured it out . Thank you for the insight. I do have kidney problems.
Thank you 🙏🏾 so much DR. Frita ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome! I appreciate the support and I hope you found the information in this video to be helpful and informative.
Thank you dr i. Have lowerback pain br say ihave kidneystone with medication lpass it out in my urine but some time the pain recurse
I'm having terrible fatigue at the moment, my doctor put it down to the chemotherapy I was having only to find out my from my urine sample that theres high amount of protein in my urine. He claimed it could be my blood pressure but thats normal at 118/79. Now hes saying it could be my kidneys.
