I have been exhausted lately even with enough sleep. 😴 A friend mentioned kidney function can cause fatigue. How do you know if it is worth checking?

Why kidneys and fatigue connect

Mechanism Effect

Less EPO hormone 🫘 Fewer red blood cells → anemia → tiredness

Toxin buildup 🧪 Waste products accumulate

Poor sleep quality 😴 Common in later kidney issues

Worth discussing if you also have
- Changes in urination
- Swelling
- High blood pressure or diabetes
- Family history of kidney disease
Fatigue has many causes, but a simple blood test can rule things out. Have you asked your doctor? 🩺
