10 Signs of Kidney Failure
Kidney Failure Sign #10: Muscle Cramps
Muscle functions depend on a number of electrolytes, notably magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium. The kidneys are responsible for regulating electrolyte balance. But when the kidneys are not working properly, the electrolytes besides other chemicals will remain in the bloodstream without regulation.
In this state, electrical signals that are necessary for muscle strands to work in a particular way flow without control. The confused flow of electrical signals causes muscle cramping which can be very painful. The pain and discomfort associated with muscle cramping may also disrupt sleep and make life extremely difficult. If you experience regular muscle cramps, it may be a sign of kidney failure. For this reason, go for testing and treatment to improve your condition.
