Your kidneys play a very important role in keeping your body healthy. Each of your kidneys is about the size of your clenched fist. They are located in the middle of your back, just below your rib cage. These excretory or urinary system organs play an important role in filtering blood and removing waste products and even extra water from your body. As a result, wastes and excess water are eliminated from the body in the form of urine.
If your kidneys fail to do their function or act normally, wastes can build up in your blood and eventually can cause damage to your body.
People with family members who have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney disease are at high risk for kidney disease. If you are at risk, you should inform your doctor. Early detection of kidney disease is important to prevent future complications. If you find out that you have kidney disease, you can do certain things to prevent your kidneys from failing.
