Kidney is one of the vital organs of the body, it is our small and powerful chemical plant, 24 hours a day to clean up the waste, keep our blood pressure. In fact, when the kidneys stop working, the body will stop working.
Kidney's five major functions
1
Remove body waste
Kidney every day to filter about 200L of blood, the equivalent of the whole body blood filtration more than 40 times, the final formation of 1000-2000ml of waste (urine), and excreted. This prevents waste from accumulating and remains healthy.
2
Regulate blood pressure
Healthy kidneys will produce a hormone that helps the vasoconstriction and regulate blood pressure. When the blood pressure is too low, the kidneys can increase the pressure; blood pressure is too high, but also can reduce the pressure.
3
Promote the production of red blood cells
The kidneys will also produce a hormone called erythropoietin, which will tell the bone marrow to make red blood cells. Red blood cells will carry oxygen from your lungs and provide the body with the energy it needs.
4
Production of active vitamin D for healthy bones
Two major sources of human vitamin D: human exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation synthesis, or from food, vitamin supplements. The kidneys will convert the vitamin D to the active form of the human body.
5
Adjust PH value
PH is a measure of acidity. Your kidneys maintain a healthy balance by adjusting the electrolyte to keep the pH of the acid and base. But when the cells break down, they produce acidic substances. Kidney can control the proportion of acidic and alkaline substances discharged, when any substance in the blood increased, the kidneys will increase the part of the discharge to maintain and adjust the acid-base balance.
Do not look at the kidneys are small, the responsibility is not small. If the above function is damaged, there will be chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the initial is no symptoms, we are not easy to find. (Such as hypertension, diabetes, high uric acid, people over the age of 60) every 6-12 months for a renal function test, easy to find the kidney in time damage.
If the kidney function continues to deteriorate, there will be high blood pressure, edema, dizziness, shortness of breath, bone and joint problems, burnout, foam urine and other issues.
In order to protect the renal function, on the one hand the need for a professional team of doctors Kexu treatment, but also the need for their own diet management, to ensure good habits and regular monitoring.
Nowadays, a lot of pollution, food additives, chronic diseases and so on constitute a huge threat to the kidneys, in the face of these threats, the kidneys need to bear more responsibility.
