Leather — the largest and most important human organ. And, unfortunately, very vulnerable. In addition to the fact that the skin suffers most from the influence of external factors, it also reflects all diseases of the internal organs. This has long been no secret to anyone.

How kidney disease manifests itself on human skin
To determine the state of your kidney health, sometimes just looking at your skin is enough.
For example, if the kidneys do not cope with their functions: they are not able to maintain a balance of minerals and nutrients in the blood, get rid of toxins — your skin may become dry. Also, such disorders can cause itching, rashes and increased pigmentation.

People with kidney disease are characterized by black eyes, rashes and irritations
Sometimes, dry skin, puffiness and bruising under the eyes of a person can appear for other reasons that are not related to the kidneys. Therefore, you should check with specialists.
It is not enough to simply take a urine test to determine if a skin condition is indicative of declining kidney health.
Very often, having received satisfactory test results, people calm down: everything is in order with the kidneys. But it is not always the case. To make sure that your kidneys are healthy, you need to undergo a complete
examination by a nephrologist and a urologist. And also, take a blood test.
To be sure of the health of the kidneys, tests should be taken once or twice a year.
