Shortness of Breath The Unsettling Struggle for Air
Advertisements

Shortness of breath can be a symptom of kidney-related issues. This can result from fluid buildup in the lungs due to the kidneys’ inability to filter excess fluid from the body effectively. Shortness of breath can also be caused by anemia, which can be a side effect of kidney problems such as chronic kidney disease or kidney failure.

If you experience persistent shortness of breath, particularly when accompanied by other kidney pain symptoms, it’s essential to seek medical advice. A healthcare professional can determine the cause of your shortness of breath and recommend appropriate treatment options. (12)
