What Kidney does in our body
1.Kidneys removes wastes products from our body: When Blood goes into the kidneys, it filteres it and removes wastes that can be harmful to the body.
2 healthy kidneys balance up the salt and water quantities that gets into the body, adjusts it if needed for the health taking of the body.
3, The filtered blood, water, salt and minerals the kidney pushes them out as urine and the body gets free from harmful contents.
4.Healthy Kidneys helps in the manufacturing of vitamin D in the body.
From the above picture we can see that human being has two kidneys on either side of the body. When one's kidneys are in bad condition or damaged, waste product and fluids in the body will find it difficult to be removed from the body and it will result to swelling in the ankles, nausea, weakness and poor sleep. Without treatment the damage can get worsen and may lead to what is called kidneys failure which can cause death.
