Save your kidney!

 

#Ethiopia What is the main function of the kidney?

   

1~ Removal of waste products

 

Cleansing the blood by removing waste products is the main function of the kidneys.

 

 The food we eat contains protein. Protein is important for body growth and strengthening. But as protein is used in the body, it produces waste products. The accumulation and retention of these waste products is similar to the retention of toxins in the body. Each kidney filters blood and toxic waste products that are eventually excreted in the urine.

 

for example; Creatinine and urea are byproducts. These can easily be measured or (quantified) in the blood. Their levels during blood tests reflect kidney function.

 

2. Removing excess fluid

 

   The second most important function of the kidney is its regulatory function. Keeping the necessary amount of water in the body and excreting it in the form of urine is its main function. This is important for our life.

 

When the kidneys are damaged, they lose their ability to remove this excess water. Excess water in the body causes swelling.

 

3. Balancing minerals and chemicals

 

 Another function of our kidneys is to regulate the minerals and chemicals in our body. They should not have too much or too little.

 

Changes in sodium levels can affect a person's mental state, while changes in potassium levels can have a significant negative impact on heart rate and muscle function.

 

 Maintaining normal levels of calcium and phosphorus is important for healthy bones and teeth.

 

4. Blood pressure control

 

   Kidneys produce various hormones. (renin, angiotensin, aldosterone, prostaglandin etc.) help regulate water and salt in the body, which play an important role in maintaining good blood pressure. In a patient with renal failure, disturbances in hormone production and salt and water regulation lead to high blood pressure.

 

5. Production of red blood cells

 

Another hormone produced in the kidneys, plays an important role in red blood cell (RBC) production. When kidney failure occurs, red blood cell production decreases, which can lead to anemia.

 

 Decreased RBC production results in low hemoglobin (anemia). This is why patients with kidney disease or injury have low hemoglobin levels. Because they are prone to anemia, it is not possible to treat them with iron and vitamins and improve their blood levels.

 

6. To maintain healthy bones

 

        Kidneys make a big contribution to keeping bones strong and in shape by using vitamin D. This is important for absorbing calcium from food, for bone and tooth growth, and for strong and healthy bones. When kidney failure occurs, vitamin D deficiency can lead to poor bone growth and strength, as well as weak teeth. If there is a developmental delay in children, the kidneys are expensive
