6. Shortness of breath
Two reasons contribute to the link between renal illness and experiencing shortness of breath, particularly after exertion. When the kidneys do not work correctly, excess fluid in the body flows into the lungs. Second, anemia depletes your body’s oxygen supply, resulting in shortness of breath.
Warning: There are several causes of shortness of breath, ranging from renal failure to asthma, lung cancer, and heart failure. If you realize that you are continually out of breath while exerting minimal effort, you should consult your doctor right away.
