【4 warning signs of chronic nephritis】
1. Persistent foamy urine
Generally, the foam in urine should dissipate within 30 seconds. However, when the kidneys have problems and a large amount of protein is lost in urine, it may lead to proteinuria, which manifests as foamy urine that is difficult to dissipate. If this happens, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a urine test as soon as possible to confirm if there is a kidney problem.
2. Anemia
In general, most anemia is due to iron deficiency. However, when the kidneys have problems, it is also possible to develop anemia.

3. Lower limb edema
When the kidneys are damaged, the urinary function may become abnormal, resulting in an increase in sodium in the body. This can lead to fluid retention and the prominent manifestation is edema in the lower limbs. In general, when the body shows edema, the flesh is relatively soft. If pressed lightly, the skin may sink and leave a small dent.
4. High blood pressure
High blood pressure here usually refers to a sudden increase in blood pressure that was originally stable, or young people developing hypertension without a family history. These situations may be caused by kidney disease and should be taken seriously.
