What are the most dangerous symptoms of kidney disease?
The kidneys are one of the vital organs in our body, and their proper function is very important for the overall health of our body. In today’s video you will learn how to recognize imptomes of diseased kidneys…
The kidneys are paired organs the size of a fist, located on both sides of the spine under the rib arches. You probably know that they are the “filters” of all the blood that passes through the body, but besides that, they also have many other functions important for the health and normal functioning of our entire organism. The kidneys are closely related to other vital organs such as the heart, lungs or liver, and their good “communication” maintains a healthy balance of blood volume, electrolytes and dynamics of the whole organism.
Kidneys are very interesting organs, primarily due to the fact that only 10% of their mass can be functional, without presenting the symptoms of their disease or they are nonspecific, and therefore neglected. Also, the kidneys are very effective in dividing and organizing work – if one kidney or some part of it cannot perform its function well for any reason, the rest of that same kidney or the other one takes over its work very effectively. In this way, important physiological parameters such as blood pressure and blood volume remain normal, and waste products are still effectively expelled from the body.
Of course, if the threshold that the kidney can tolerate by its compensation is exceeded, failure of its work occurs and various symptoms occur as a result of disturbances in the balance of various organ systems in the body that are associated with the kidneys.
