Nephrology

Treatment of the Kidneys

Your kidneys are vital to your health. They often work with other organs, primarily of the endocrine system, to perform several important regulatory roles in your body, including:

Serving as natural blood filters, removing and sending wastes to your bladder to become urine
Helping your body reabsorb vital nutrients from filtered material—including water, glucose, and amino acids—by returning them back to your bloodstream
Regulating your body's acid-base (pH) balance, electrolyte concentrations, and extracellular fluid volume, which is largely responsible for long-term blood pressure regulation
Producing hormones
