Kidney Damage
The kidney is the organ tasked to remove toxins from the bloodstream and turn them into the urine. It filters the blood through the glomeruli, which are a complex system of small nerves that let the nutrients and other smaller particles pass through while retaining, filtering, and transporting the bigger wastes to the excretory organs. The kidneys can produce about two liters of urine daily and process about 200 liters of liquid. Such workload makes the kidneys one of the busiest organs among the more sensitive body parts.
When the kidneys become damaged, waste products can build up in the body. Once the glomeruli falter, protein becomes more evident in the urine stream. If left unchecked, the person can contract proteinuria, which is a condition that causes foamy and stinky urine. Such damage to the kidney can cause significant damage to the body, manifesting as swollen ankles, general malaise, nausea, poor sleep patterns, and shortness of breath. If no medical intervention happens, a simple kidney damage can lead to acute kidney failure, a more severe problem.
