Kidneys most of the time are taken for granted, maybe, it’s because when
they’re functioning normally, we forget of what a truly impressive the
function the kidneys have. The kidneys not only balance fluid content in the
body, removing extra fluid and water from the body but, they filter the
blood, produce an enzyme (renin) that help control blood pressure, also
produces a hormone that helps make red blood cells, they activate vitamin D
to maintain healthy bones, and adjust levels of minerals and other chemicals
that keep the body working properly.

Symptoms of Kidney Disease
|
The basic function of kidneys begins when you
eat and drink. After the body takes the nutrients it
needs, the extras become wastes. Some of the
waste winds up in the blood and needs to be
filtered out. The blood gets circulated through the
body with every beat of the heart. We need to
help the kidneys to stay healthy by doing at least
twice a year a kidney cleanse, ridding our body
of toxins, and allowing the kidneys to function at
its full potential.
Functions of the Kidneys:
Elimination of metabolic wastes: Kidneys remove waste products, this process
is called metabolism. The kidney filters the blood to remove waste products
such as urea and creatine.
Blood pressure regulation: A number of chemicals such as potassium, sodium,
phosphorus, calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium and chloride are important to
your blood chemistry. Healthy kidneys make sure you keep the right amounts
of these chemicals and get rid of those you don't need.
Kidneys also make three important hormones: Renin- helps regulate your blood
pressure. Calcitriol -helps your body absorb calcium from the food you eat.
Erythropoietin - helps maintain the right amount of blood in your body (blood
volume) by stimulating your bone marrow to make more red blood cells.
Other functions: Vitamin D activation, Prostaglandin synthesis,Acid - Base
balance (excretes alkaline salts)
Fluid balance: Kidneys maintain water balance by removing excess fluid from
your body.
