KidneyBody System
Urinary
Key Function in BodyThe kidneys act as filters, removing waste and extra water from the blood. This helps keep the proper balance of minerals, water, and salts in the blood. The kidneys also help control blood pressure, make red blood cells, and keep bones healthy and strong. The waste filtered by the kidneys is converted to urine, which we get rid of (excrete) when we go to the bathroom. About one third of blood flowing from the heart is filtered by the kidneys before it enters other body tissues. While humans have two kidneys, we can survive with only one.
Fun FactPeople can live with only one kidney. However, if both kidneys stop working - people can die within a few days.
