The kidneys are two of the most important organs in the body.
They maintain balance of the volume of water in the body. They filter the blood and help get rid of waste products. They also produce hormones that circulate in the bloodstream and regulate some of the body functions such as blood pressure, the making of red blood cells and the uptake of iron, calcium and other vitamins and minerals from the intestine thus playing an important role in bone metabolism and bone and muscle strength. |
