Delayed Diagnosis of Kidney Failure Summary: Xiao Xi, a 34-year-old real estate saleswoman, ignored her doctor's advice to get her kidneys checked despite having urinary issues.
She disregarded symptoms such as foamy urine and white sedimentation until she experienced swelling in her hands and feet and a decline in her complexion.
After a medical check-up, she was diagnosed with kidney failure. Kidney failure can result from various kidney diseases, and early symptoms are often overlooked. It is important to be aware of warning signs such as foamy urine and three other abnormal symptoms: ammonia-like odor, dark urine, and blood in the urine.
To protect kidney health, individuals should avoid habits such as insufficient water intake, high sodium and excessive food consumption, sleep deprivation, and frequent urine retention. Prompt treatment and lifestyle changes are crucial in preventing kidney failure.
