The kidneys are vital organs in the human body, responsible for various physiological functions to maintain overall health. Here are the main functions of the kidneys:

  • Excretion of excess fluid: Maintaining the body's fluid balance.
  • Removal of waste: Clearing toxins produced by metabolism.
  • Electrolyte regulation: Ensuring the balance of sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes.
  • Acid-base balance: Maintaining stability in the body’s internal environment.
  • Regulation of red blood cell production: Influencing the generation of red blood cells, which affects oxygen transport.
  • Calcium absorption regulation: Promoting bone health.
  • Blood pressure regulation: Helping to maintain normal blood pressure levels.


When kidney function declines, symptoms of uremia may arise, but often these symptoms are not clearly noticeable. Common symptoms include:

  • Fatigue and pale complexion
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Swelling in hands, feet, and face, along with difficulty breathing
  • Difficulty concentrating and insomnia
  • Headaches caused by high blood pressure
  • Skin itching
  • Feeling weak or drained


Understanding the importance of kidney health and recognizing potential issues early is crucial for maintaining overall well-being.
