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.

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

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.
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 ❤
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 😊
Thank you, Dr. Frita, you are amazing!
Hi Dr. Frira, I had no idea that dehydration could cause kidney failure. TFS and all you do!
Thank you for this information!❤ I love how you truly like to help people!
Thanks Dr Frita for this useful health information.
Thank you Dr for sharing such vital info.
This video is too smart for me.... I will have to watch it again. Your knowledge and expertise are amazing.
Deep comprehensive information shared here. Thanks for the knowledge that you shared. God bless you always.
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.
Shortness of breath , 🙏🏾thanks for sharing 💯❤️
Thanks for the great information Dr Frita.
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.
Dr Frita, thanks for your explanation.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for taking the time to share.God bless 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 .
Yes. I need a consult ASAP!
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
Your videos are packed with very important information. Thank you!
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
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
Great job, Doc! Thank you so much for your advice. I love your educational videos very much. God bless you and your loved ones.
Excellent topic/informational video.
Thanks,Dr.Frita, I think I needed to hear you for a reason

Did not realize UTI was one of the signs. Thanks for this educational great video.
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.
Thanks for this video. It may have just saved my life.
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
Thanks for the info…was very helpful…🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Thanks so much for the info.
I need to get a new PCP & get blood work done because I ticked a lot of these boxes
Thank you doctor..your friend from Canada 🇨🇦
Very good information. Thank you.
Thank you.....
Ty for the helpful information.
I was diagnosed with stage three ckd, I don’t have any of the symptoms described but I’ve noticed that I experience a radiating pain from directly on my left love handle area, not my lower back.
Thank you. Good information.
Thank you for the information. Watching from PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Great information.
Greetings doctor: Does Aspirin contribute to kidney disease? Thank you.
Thank you, excellent video
This was an excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT informal video. It highlighted multiple symptoms I've noticed in myself and I'm doing something about it to avoid kidney failure. 💯💯💯💯
😅 1:25
I didn't know frequent urination could be a sign. I have CKD stage 3a due to PKD and I've just been worried about decreased urine production. Also, can PKD in both kidneys cause low back pain or discomfort? I'm going to look to see if you have a PKD video now that i found you. 😊
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.
Thanks Doc.
I love your videos. Thank you!!!!
