World Kidney Day: Your Urine Can Reveal Early Signs of Kidney Disease

• Kidneys silently filter 180 litres of blood daily; disease often progresses without obvious symptoms.
• Changes in urine color, foam, and frequency can be crucial early indicators of kidney problems.
• Persistent foamy urine may signal protein leakage, an early sign of kidney damage, especially for those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
• Red/pink urine (hematuria) or deep yellow/brownish urine warrants immediate medical consultation.
• Early screening via simple urine tests, protein checks, or blood creatinine tests is vital for timely detection and prevention.
