Back Pain Kidney failure can bring on back pain, especially around the lower ribs or groin. If back pain comes with tiredness, vomiting, peeing a lot, or a fever, see a doctor fast. It could be a sign of kidney failure.
Swollen Ankles Kidney failure causes sodium to build up, making ankles, hands, and feet swell.
Shortness of Breath Feeling out of breath often, especially when moving or lifting, can be due to kidney failure. When the kidneys can’t detox well, the body feels off and you’re short of breath.
