The kidneys are one of the most vital organs of the body. This pair of organs located above the waist and at the back of the body has 3 primary functions. One – they eliminate waste and toxins from the body thereby cleaning the blood and keeping the person healthy. Two – they help maintain electrolytic balance in the body and regulate BP. Thirdly; they are required to make red blood cells. The kidneys are source of a hormone called erythropoietin, which signals the bone marrow to produce RBC.
