Description:

Each of your two kidneys are roughly the size of a fist . Their primary function is to filter your blood. They remove waste and excess water, which becomes urine. They also aid in blood pressure regulation, hormone production, maintaining strong bones and chemical homeostasis. If you have chronic kidney disease (CKD), your kidneys are impaired and unable to filter blood as effectively as they should. This injury might cause wastes to accumulate in your body. It can also lead to other issues that are detrimental to your health. Kidney illness is quiet at first. Often, symptoms don't show up until the kidneys are seriously injured. Many patients wait until their renal disease is advanced before experiencing any symptoms. The only methods to determine if you have kidney disease are blood and urine testing.
