Your kidneys are two small, bean-shaped organs that play a big role in keeping your body healthy. Every day, they filter waste products and excess fluid from your blood,
which leave your body as urine. Your kidneys also help balance important minerals such as sodium and potassium, regulate blood pressure,
support healthy red blood cell production, and help keep your bones strong. When your kidneys are working well, most people don’t notice them at all
but they are constantly working behind the scenes to keep your body in balance.

Kidney disease often develops slowly and may not cause symptoms at first. That is why early detection is so important. When kidney function declines,
waste and fluid can build up in the body, leading to fatigue, swelling, changes in urination, or problems with blood pressure and other organs.
The good news is that with early recognition, education, and the right treatment plan, kidney disease can often be slowed and carefully managed.
Understanding how your kidneys work is the first step toward protecting them and maintaining your long-term health.
