Kidney, also called the filtering organ in the body, is helpful in the removal of unwanted materials present in the body. This is done through the kidney's ability to filter. It also plays a role in various functions and secretes various types of hormones that are helpful in blood production and blood pressure regulation.

The main function of the kidney is to remove toxic materials from the body through a filtration mechanism. For example, drug waste products and unwanted body compounds like uric acid are all filtered by the kidneys, helping to maintain the acid-base balance in the body.

The kidney is also involved in the secretion of various hormones in the body, such as renin, which helps regulate blood pressure, and erythropoietin, which is required for hemoglobin production.

Kidneys can be affected not only by an improper lifestyle but also by chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
