Kidney Care Information

Kidneys perform critical functions for the human body such as:

  • Removing waste products from the blood

  • Balancing the nutrients and chemicals in the blood

  • Regulating blood pressure

  • Maintaining fluid

  • Producing hormones that stimulate red blood cell production

Your kidneys are bean-shaped and weigh approximately 6 ounces. They are located behind the upper abdominal organs on either side of your spine.
