Morning Swollen Feet? It Could Be an Early Sign of Kidney Disease

• Frequent swelling in hands or feet, especially after waking up, should not be ignored as it may signal a serious internal problem.
• Reduced kidney function can cause swelling because kidneys fail to remove excess sodium and water, leading to fluid buildup.
• Swelling often appears in feet, ankles, legs, and hands, feeling tight, heavy, or painful.
• Other warning signs include frequent urination, dark/foamy urine, blood in urine, puffiness under eyes, and skin issues.
• Busy lifestyles, lack of activity, low water intake, and high salt consumption contribute to increasing kidney-related illnesses.
