I'm really concerned because my left kidney is measuring 7.2 cm by 3.9 cm, and I'm experiencing a swollen face, dark facial color, and leg edema. Is this a dangerous situation, and is there any way to treat this permanently?

Question

What is the first sign of kidney problems?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's a CKD patient on alternate day dialysis and he loves eating 8-10 raw almonds every day. I've heard mixed things about almonds, so I'm wondering if they're actually good or bad for him. Also, he enjoys snacking on black grapes, but Im not sure if theyre okay for his condition. Can you help me figure this out?
