warning signs.
4. Blood in the Urine
Urine that appears pink, red, or cola-colored can indicate kidney damage allowing blood cells to leak into urine that would normally be filtered out. While this symptom can have several causes, it should always be evaluated promptly by a healthcare provider.
5. Persistent Puffiness or Facial Swelling
Facial puffiness, particularly noticeable around the eyes upon waking, can indicate that the kidneys are allowing protein to leak into the urine rather than retaining it in the bloodstream, disrupting the body’s fluid balance.
