Renal function

Renal function refers to how well the kidneys work to filter blood, remove waste, and balance fluids, electrolytes, and other substances in the body. The kidneys produce urine, which carries waste out of the body, while also regulating blood pressure and maintaining overall fluid balance. When kidneys are functioning properly, they help ensure the body maintains a stable internal environment. Impaired kidney function can lead to the buildup of toxins and imbalances, potentially causing serious health issues. Regular monitoring of kidney function is important, especially for those at risk of kidney disease.
