Conclusion

Preface

Unfortunately, there is no permanent treatment/cure for kidney failure, just strategies to keep someone with kidney disease as stable and healthy as possible. One such strategy is to follow a kidney disease diet that limits the intake of certain nutrients in order to reduce the amount of waste in the blood. This is because the kidneys are needed to properly balance the proportions of water, salt and other minerals (called electrolytes) in the blood, otherwise, kidney dysfunction can lead to abnormal mineral levels.

What is Kidney Diet?

It restricts the intake of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus because people with kidney problems need to monitor how much of these nutrients they consume. These three micronutrients can accumulate in the blood and contribute to problems such as high blood pressure (hypertension), swelling and fluid retention, cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), bone disorders, and vascular calcifications.

Functions of the kidneys

When blood flows to the kidney, sensors in specialized kidney cells regulate the amount of water they excrete as urine, along with the concentration of electrolytes. For example, if a person is dehydrated due to exercise or illness, the kidneys retain as much water as possible and the urine becomes very concentrated. When water is present in the body, the urine becomes much more diluted and the urine becomes clear. This system is controlled by renin, a hormone produced in the kidney that is part of the body's blood pressure and blood regulation systems.

The kidneys are also the source of erythropoietin in the body, a hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Special cells in the kidney monitor the oxygen concentration in the blood. If oxygen levels drop, erythropoietin levels rise and the body begins to make more red blood cells.

The urine produced by each kidney flows through the urethra, a tube that connects the kidney to the bladder. Urine is stored inside the bladder, and when urination occurs, the bladder empties the urine through a tube called the urethra.

In conclusion, the function of the kidneys is to filter out excess water and waste and to eliminate toxins from the body in the form of urine. It also helps maintain a balance of electrolytes and other fluids in our body. When a person suffers from
