Your kidneys help filter protein, and when they become damaged, excess protein can leak into the urine. As protein levels drop in the blood, fluid can build up in the tissues, often showing up first as puffy eyes. You can lose up to 90% of kidney function without noticeable symptoms, which is why early detection is so important. If you notice early kidney disease symptoms, the following tests can help assess kidney function and damage: • eGFR test • Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio • Blood pressure testing It’s best to catch kidney disease before stage 4, and the eyes can provide important clues about kidney health. Foamy urine, pitting edema, and anemia are also common signs of kidney problems. Following a low-carb diet is one of the best ways to support kidney health.

If I had kidney problems and a doctor in the room recognized it I’d want him to let me know.

I ignored puffiness and dark circles around my eyes for years, never realizing health issues could be connected. Praying everyone watching stays healthy, aware, strong, and blessed always. 🙏❤

Wish we had doctors like Dr Berg to actually treat us. It’s so difficult to find such a knowledgeable and caring physician. Most rather toss rx’s at you without getting to the root of the problem. I want a doctor that educates me on my health issues and how to properly care for my body in the things I do

This video was an absolute wake-up call for me. It is terrifying to realize how silently our bodies can suffer, hiding major kidney issues in plain sight. It leaves me with a deep sense of urgency to stop taking my health for granted and pay closer attention to the subtle signs my eyes show.
