Kidneys are essential organs of the human body, and play an essential role in keeping overall health. They are bean-shaped, and located on both sides of your spine under the ribcage.
The main function of the kidneys include:
Filtration: They clean out waste products, excess salts and water out of the blood, forming urine. This helps keep the body's fluid and electrolyte balance.
Regulation of Blood Pressure: The kidneys assist in regulating blood pressure by regulating blood's balance of sodium potassium and electrolytes. They also produce a hormone, renin that controls blood pressure.
The Red Blood Cell Production: The hormone erythropoietin that is made by kidneys, triggers the bone marrow in order to produce the red blood cells. Red blood cells transport oxygen from one area in the body the next.
Acid-Base Balance: Kidneys assist in maintaining the body's acid base balance through the expulsion of hydrogen ions and taking in bicarbonate Ions.
