🧠 Core Functions

• 🧼 Blood Filtration
  Each kidney contains about a million tiny filtering units called nephrons. These remove waste products like urea, creatinine, and excess acids from the blood.
  
  

• 🚰 Fluid & Electrolyte Balance
  They regulate the volume and composition of body fluids, maintaining proper levels of water, sodium, potassium, calcium, and other minerals.
  
  

• 🩸 Blood Pressure Regulation
  Kidneys produce renin, a hormone that helps control blood pressure by adjusting blood vessel constriction and fluid balance
  
  

• 🧬 Red Blood Cell Production
  They release erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Red blood cells bring oxygen to the tissues in your body and release carbon dioxide to your lungs for you to exhale. Oxygen turns into energy, which is an essential function to keep your body healthy.
   

• 🦴 Bone Health
  Kidneys activate vitamin D (as calcitriol), which helps your body absorb calcium and maintain strong bones.
  
  

• 🧪 Acid-Base Balance
  They help maintain the pH of your blood by excreting hydrogen ions and reabsorbing bicarbonate.

🛁 Waste Removal Process

1. Blood enters the kidneys via the renal artery.

2. Nephrons filter out waste and excess substances.

3. Cleaned blood returns to circulation through the renal vein.

4. Waste and extra fluid become urine, which travels to the bladder via the ureters

These small, fist-sized organs filter about 200 quarts of fluid daily—returning most to the body and excreting about 2 quarts as urine.
