Why Kidney Health Matters

Your kidneys are vital for overall health supporting blood, bones, and balance. Protect them with hydration, a healthy diet, and regular check-ups.

Filtration of Blood

Kidneys filter waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood, forming urine to keep the body clean and balanced.

Regulation of Fluid Balance

They maintain the body's fluid levels by adjusting urine output based on hydration status and overall water and salt intake.

Electrolyte Balance

Kidneys regulate essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and calcium, ensuring proper nerve, muscle, and heart function throughout the body.

Blood Pressure Regulation

By controlling fluid volume and releasing the enzyme renin, kidneys help maintain and regulate healthy blood pressure levels daily.

Erythropoietin Production

Kidneys release erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells, preventing anemia and fatigue.

Acid-Base Balance

Kidneys help maintain a stable pH by excreting hydrogen ions and reabsorbing bicarbonate, keeping blood neither too acidic nor basic.

They break down and remove harmful drugs, chemicals, and metabolic byproducts, ensuring the body stays free of toxic substances.
