Kidneys silently work around the clock, cleaning the blood, balancing fluids, and removing waste. But unlike other organs, when kidneys begin to fail, the signs are generally subtle, almost whispering instead of shouting. As per a report, chronic kidney disease affects 10% of the global population. This is why kidney damage or the beginning of nephrosis (a kidney disorder marked by protein leakage and swelling) can go unnoticed until it has advanced. Spotting the early signals may help in timely diagnosis and care.
