Kidney functions:

Kidneys are bean-shaped organs; they are located below the rib cage.

Kidneys filter about a half cup of blood every minute, filtering waste and excess of water to make urine. Urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two tubes called ureters, one on each side of the bladder. Bladder stores urine. Kidneys, ureters, and bladder are part of the urinary tract.

Jobs that kidney do

1. Remove wastes and extra fluid

Kidneys act as a filter that removes wastes and extra fluid from your body. Kidneys filter blood to make urine. Urine contains wastes and extra fluid. This prevents the gather of wastes and fluid to keep the body healthy.

 

 

2. Control blood pressure

Kidneys need the pressure to work properly. Kidneys can ask for higher pressure if it seems too low, or try to lower pressure if it seems too high by controlling fluid levels and making the hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict.

 

3. Make red blood cells

Kidneys make the hormone called erythropoietin.  Erythropoietin helps the bone marrow to make red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to all body parts. Red blood cells give the energy that you need for daily activities.

 

4. Keep bones healthy

Kidneys will make an active form of vitamin D. You need vitamin D to absorb calcium and phosphorus. Calcium and phosphorus are important minerals that make bones strong. Kidneys also balance calcium and phosphorus in the body has the right amount.

 

5. Control pH Levels

pH is a measure of acid and base. Kidneys maintain a healthy balance of the chemicals to control acid levels. As cells break down, they make acids. The foods you eat can either increase or lower the amount of acid in your body. Your kidneys balance the pH of your body by either removing or adjusting the right amounts of acid and buffering agents.
