Your kidneys are important for eliminating waste, making red blood cells, balancing the body’s fluids, producing hormones that control blood pressure, and keeping your bones strong.
The quantity of water, salts, and acids in our body also varies every day.
The continuous process of converting food into energy produces harmful toxic materials.
These factors lead to changes in the amount of fluid, electrolytes and acids in the body. The accumulation of unwanted toxic materials can be life threatening.
Each kidney carries out the essential job of flushing out harmful and toxic by-products. At the same time, they also regulate and maintain the right balance and levels of water, acids and electrolyte.
When your kidneys are not working properly, this is known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is possible to have CKD and not experience any symptoms initially.
