❄️During the cold winter months, our blood vessels constrict,

causing blood pressure to rise, which can put extra strain on the kidneys.

The kidneys are often called a “silent organ” because noticeable symptoms usually do not appear until their function is significantly reduced.

Common Symptoms

✔ Unexplained fatigue

✔ Loss of appetite

✔ Swelling around the eyes

✔ Leg edema

✔ Foamy urine (proteinuria)

Most importantly, managing diabetes and hypertension and getting regular check-ups are key to protecting kidney health.????

The colder the winter, the more careful we need to be about maintaining kidney health.✨
