Your kidneys can lose a huge amount of their working capacity before you ever feel anything wrong, which is exactly why kidney problems tend to get missed until they are much further along. In this episode I go through the early signs that are genuinely worth paying attention to, including frothy urine that does not clear after a minute, puffiness around your eyes in the morning, swelling in your ankles or lower legs, and needing to get up at night to pee more than you used to. I also cover the later signs that only appear once things are more advanced, the two tests that catch kidney problems long before any symptom does, and what actually protects your kidneys over the long run, including the role of blood sugar, blood pressure, certain painkillers, and diet. The full list of research references is in the description of the YouTube version of this video.
