Kidney

The kidneys are vital organs that filter waste products from the blood and produce urine. They play a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. Each kidney contains millions of tiny filtering units called nephrons. These nephrons remove waste products and excess substances from the blood, which are then excreted as urine. The kidneys also help regulate blood pressure and produce hormones that are important for red blood cell production and bone health. Proper kidney function is essential for overall health. Conditions such as kidney disease can significantly impact an animal's quality of life and require medical intervention.
