The Kidney is a special part of our body. 
Special because it removes toxic elements 
and transfers clean blood through the heart 
to all over the body. So, what would happen 
if the kidney started shrinking?

2
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:23,700
This could impact our smooth process of blood 
filtration.

3
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:31,100
Considering the problem, today, we are going 
to learn the causes of kidney shrinkage problems. 
let's get to know why the kidney shrinks...

4
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,500
The Kidney has nephrons when these nephrons 
get compressed, the kidney starts shrinking.

5
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,700
High blood pressure is the prime cause of 
Kidney shrinkage issue.

6
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:27,300
When Blood pressure is high, the blood cannot 
reach the Kidneys properly. Due to a poor 
blood supply to the kidneys, shrinkage occurs 
in the Kidneys.

7
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:40,000
Besides these, any problem with Urine causes 
pressure in the Kidneys. This compresses 
the nephron, as a result of which the kidney 
starts shrinking.

8
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:52,900
Kidney stones could also be another reason 
because the kidney doesn't function well 
when there is a stone in Kidney. This creates 
strain on the kidneys, and shrinkage happens.

9
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:13,400
Swelling in hands, feet, ankle, and face.

10
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:26,100
Along with this, dark-colored urine, increase 
or decrease in the amount of urine, often 
urge to urinate, foamy urine, body weakness, 
tiredness

11
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:40,500
Low oxygen in the body, feeling cold during 
summer, fever, skin rashes, increased urea 
level in the blood, smelly mouth, and fluid 
accumulation in the lungs

12
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:51,700
If you are consistently experiencing such 
for several days, then understand your kidney 
is shrinking. But it doesn't mean the reason 
could be of Kidney shrinkage only.

13
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,900
Beyond that, the symptoms can also indicate 
other Kidneys problem.

14
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,100
If you identify these signs timely, you can 
stop the Kidney disease from worsening.
