Symptom #8: Dry and Itchy Skin
Kidneys are known to have many important roles in the human body. Their main function is the removal of waste products, as well as removal of excess fluid, maintaining the right amount of minerals, producing red blood cells, and regulating the normal blood pressure.
In advanced kidney disease, when their function is impaired, they can no longer keep the right balance of minerals and nutrients in the blood, so some of them start accumulating in body tissues, leading to dry and itchy skin.
