3. Puffy eyes
Protein in the urine is an early symptom that your kidney’s filtration mechanism is compromised, and it can cause puffiness around the eyes. The puffiness around your eyes is caused by your kidneys spilling a high amount of protein into the urine rather than retaining and dispersing it throughout the body.
Tip: If you’re confident that your body is getting enough rest and protein but still see puffiness around your eyes, arrange an appointment with your doctor.
