Each person can have a healthy kidney and functioning well into old age . Unfortunately , many people ignore the condition of the kidneys . To maintain public awareness of kidney health is still minimal .
In America , one in three people own risk of kidney disease and this number continues to increase . High blood pressure , diabetes , or a family history also influenced the increased risk of kidney disease .
In a meeting of the National Kidney Month in March 2014 and commemorate World Kidney Day , the National Kidney Foundation encourages everyone to learn about the kidneys and how to maintain their health .
The knowledge base is given , among others , each person must know that he was born with two kidneys , although actually only need one . Every day , the kidneys filter 200 liters of blood and in the process filter two liters of toxins , wastes , and water .
Waste and water would normally leave the body in the form of urine . Through this process , the kidney is able to regulate water levels in the body . The kidneys also release hormones that regulate blood pressure , red blood cell products , and helps maintain bone health .
Impaired renal function usually takes place slowly in a long time . Therefore , when a person experiences kidney failure , he is likely to experience kidney pain for a long time in advance . Therefore , people should start to realize the importance of maintaining healthy kidneys . Start doing prevention and early detection of kidney disease .
