13 Silent Signs Your Kidneys Are Crying for Help

11. Cold Intolerance and Feeling Chilled

Cold intolerance and a persistent feeling of being chilled can be linked to anemia and poor circulation, both of which are associated with kidney disease. Anemia reduces the body’s ability to generate heat, while poor circulation can lead to cold extremities. These symptoms are often overlooked or attributed to other causes, but they can be a sign that the kidneys are not functioning optimally. If you find yourself constantly cold despite appropriate clothing and environmental conditions, it may be worth investigating kidney health.
