Description
Did you know there are symptoms and warning signs of kidney disease in your mouth? And would you recognize them if you saw them today? As a board-certified nephrologist, I treat patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) every day, and more often than not, kidney damage was announcing itself long before the labs confirmed it, right there in the mouth. In this video, I'm breaking down five kidney failure/kidney disease symptoms hiding in plain sight: a dry mouth that water can't fix, a metallic taste patients swear tastes like pennies, a pale or coated tongue, bleeding gums, and a very specific kind of bad breath. I'll explain what each one means for your kidney damage risk and why the National Kidney Foundation wants these clues on your radar long before kidney failure becomes the conversation. This isn't oral hygiene advice. It's your body trying to talk to you. Watch until the end so you know what to ask your doctor.
