Identify kidney damage symptoms before it turns advance, doctor recommends regular check-up after 40

Kidney disease is often called a “silent killer” because it usually shows no symptoms until it has significantly progressed. Unlike routine screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol, kidney function tests, especially a simple blood creatinine test, are often neglected. This negligence can delay diagnosis until the condition becomes serious. Early-stage kidney disorders may show subtle or non-specific symptoms, which are often mistaken for other health issues. Therefore, any unexplained fatigue, swelling, changes in urination, or high blood pressure should prompt timely evaluation through confirmatory blood, urine, and imaging tests. Consulting a nephrologist in such cases is really important.
