The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs that lie on either side of the spine in the lower middle of the back. Each kidney contains about a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron is made of a glomerulus and a tubule. The glomerulus is a miniature filtering or sieving device while the tubule is a tiny tube like.

The main function of the kidneys is to be a filter for your blood as it circulates through the body. Therefore, kidneys can remove waste products and excess water from the blood. This requires that blood be able to reach and leave the kidneys efficiently. Each kidney has a renal artery that brings blood into the kidney for filtration. Each kidney also has a renal vein that takes the blood from away from the kidneys to back into circulation. The kidney also plays a major role in regulating levels of various minerals such as calcium, sodium, and potassium in the blood. The kidneys allow consumption of a variety of foods, drugs, vitamins and supplements, additives, and excess fluids without worry that toxic by-products will build up to harmful levels.
