This often leads to swelling in areas such as:

  • Feet

  • Ankles

  • Lower legs

People may notice that their shoes feel tighter than usual or that the skin around the ankles appears puffy. Pressing a finger against the swollen area may sometimes leave a temporary indentation.

Although swelling can also be caused by standing for long periods or other conditions, persistent or unexplained swelling should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

2. Dry, Cracked Skin on the Feet

Healthy kidneys help maintain proper mineral and nutrient balance in the bloodstream. When kidney function declines, these balances may be disrupted.

As a result, some individuals may experience very dry or itchy skin, including on the feet. The skin may become rough, cracked, or unusually flaky.

This symptom may occur because of:

  • Mineral imbalances

  • Accumulation of waste products in the bloodstream

  • Reduced circulation

Persistent skin dryness, especially when combined with other symptoms, may indicate underlying health concerns.

3. Numbness or Tingling Sensations
