Kidneys are one of the most important and busy organs in our body.
They are basically like the filters for our blood. Each kidney contains millions of these tiny “nephrons” which are the functional unit of kidneys. Millions of nephrons act together and these act as filters which work continuously to filter the blood and take out all the waste elements in the blood.

Due to various reasons - kidneys can become unable to filter the waste products from your blood. When this happens - dangerous levels of wastes may accumulate, and your blood's chemical levels may get out of balance.

Kidney damage can also occur due to Prolonged use of medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, certain chemotherapy drugs and antibiotics.
