When our kidneys fail, toxic by-products in the body have to be artificially removed via dialysis.
THE kidneys’ primary function is to filter blood to get rid of waste products, toxins and excess water and electrolytes from the body, whilst reabsorbing useful chemicals. Many medicines are also excreted by the kidneys. The kidneys help in the regulation of the blood pressure and also produce hormones that help regulate the production of red blood cells and the growth and maintenance of bones.
