Off-white Section Separator
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.
Medium Brush Stroke
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.
