7. Dry and itchy skin

You might start having dry and itchy skin. Remember that your kidneys perform a lot of functions for your body. They remove toxins and aid in red blood cell production. Your kidneys even work to keep the appropriate quantities of minerals in your blood. Dry and itchy skin can be a symptom of proteinuria. This is because your kidneys are already damaged. So, they aren't able to keep the right balance of nutrients and minerals in your body. If you're experiencing this symptom, you should see your doctor. Do this because it usually manifests when the kidney disease is already severe.
