Kidneys are two bean-shaped organs in the renal system that help the body get rid of the waste by passing as urine.
They help to filter blood before sending it back to the heart.
It is known that a major function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body.
These waste products and excess fluid pass through the urine.
This process is necessary to maintain a stable balance of body chemicals.
Kidneys perform the function of regulating the body’s salt, potassium and acid content.
The kidneys also produce hormones that in turn affect the functioning of the other organs.
For example, a hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates red blood cell production and other hormones produced by the kidneys help regulate blood pressure and control calcium metabolism.
