10 Symptoms of Kidney Problems
6. Dizziness
Dizziness is defined as the loss of balance and/or the feeling of being lightheaded. It is a subjective sensation that can show up suddenly and may cause a person to feel ill. It is important to try to sit down as soon as possible to prevent falls that could result in serious complications. The kidneys also regulate blood pressure through a hormonal mechanism that includes the production of renin.
Through a cascade of hormonal events, renin will cause an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, patients with kidney problems might experience hypotension as a result of inadequate renin production. Dizziness is of the most common symptoms associated with low blood pressure.
