# Men Over 40 Should Watch for Kidney Disease Warning Signs 2026-08-14T17:29:04+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Kidney disease often develops silently after age 40, and men tend to ignore early signs such as changes in urination, swelling, and fatigue, according to Dr. Bhanu Mishra, consultant nephrologist at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh. Urinary changes, foamy, dark or blood-tinged urine, waking at night, should not be dismissed as ageing. Swelling in feet, hands or around the eyes signals fluid retention. Constant tiredness, nausea, appetite loss, muscle cramps, itching and rising blood pressure are also red flags. High blood pressure is both a cause and consequence of kidney damage. Routine blood and urine tests can catch problems early. Men with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, kidney stones or a family history of kidney disease face higher risk. Doctors advise avoiding self-diagnosis and consulting a professional promptly. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: chronic kidney disease, Dr. Bhanu Mishra, Fortis Hospital Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/men-over-40-should-watch-for-kidney-disease-warning-signs/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
