The kidneys are two vital organs located in the abdominal cavity, just below the ribs. They are required for numerous regulatory functions which include:
Removing of liquid waste from the blood as urine
Maintaining a balance of substances in the blood
Producing the hormone erythropoietin for the formation of red blood cells
Regulating blood pressure
Diet and nutrition are important components for anyone to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
